-The `fases` project has 2 IRC channels hosted on 2 IRC Networks:
+The `fases` community mainly uses IRC:
-* `#fases` on `LibreIRC` ([webchat](https://kiwi.andrewyu.org/#fases)):
+`#fases` on `rx` ([webchat](https://gamja.irc.andrewyu.org/#fases)):
-server: `irc.andrewyu.org` ;
+* server: `irc.andrewyu.org`;
+* ssl: `6697` (recommended);
+* plain: `6667`.
-ssl: `6697` (recommended) ;
+`#fases` on `Libera.Chat` ([webchat](https://web.libera.chat/#fases)):
-plain: `6667`.
+* server: `irc.libera.chat`;
+* ssl: `6697` (recommended);
+* plain: `6667`.
-* `#fases` on `Libera.Chat` ([webchat](https://web.libera.chat/#fases)):
+Although less used, we also have an XMPP channel:
-server: `irc.libera.chat` ;
-
-ssl: `6697` (recommended) ;
-
-plain: `6667`.
-
-There's also an XMPP channel/room:
-
-* `vitali64.duckdns.org`:
-
-server: `[conference.]vitali64.duckdns.org` ;
-
-room: `fases@conference.vitali64.duckdns.org`.
+* room: `fases@conference.vitali64.duckdns.org`.
All those channels are bridged together so you can talk to us regardless of
which chat platform you use.
Rules
-----
-Here are chat rules for `#fases` on Libera and LibreIRC, and for
-`fases@conference.vitali64.duckdns.org` on vitali64.duckdns.org XMPP.
-
-A simple TL;DR would be to be nice and civil.
+Here are chat rules for `#fases`:
* Don't ask to ask. You won't get banned right after asking to ask but
we prefer you ask your question right away, else less people will
- want to answer your question.
+ want to answer your question. That also includes just saying "hi" and
+ waiting for someone to answer. Just ask your question, and someone
+ might answer. Keep in mind that we all are unpaid volunteers, and as
+ such it might take hours or even days for someone to answer.
* Don't spam. Spamming is a waste of time for chat operators and
an annoyance for other people in the chat. If you want to paste a text
with multiple lines (For example, output of a command) then use a
- pastebin. Good sane pastebins include [https://paste.debian.net](https://paste.debian.net)
- and [https://bin.vitali64.duckdns.org](https://bin.vitali64.duckdns.org).
+ pastebin. Good sane pastebins include [https://paste.debian.net](https://paste.debian.net).
-* No offtopic discussions. The chat rooms/channels are made specifically
- to talk about fases and some other core utilities, nothing else.
+* Offtopic discussions are allowed, but please keep those at a minimum.
-* English and French only. Moderating other languages is hard, because
- most people in the chat are English speakers.
- French is tolerated, because Ferass (the main fases developer)
- understands French.
+* English only. Moderating other languages is hard, because most people
+ in the chat are English speakers.
* No discrimination. The chat rooms/channels are here for people to have
- nice conversations with everyone. If you attempt to discriminate someone
- you'll be banned without any warnings.

+ banned without warnings depending on severity.
-* Follow the [Libera.Chat network policies](https://libera.chat/policies/).
+* We use Libera.Chat for IRC chat. Libera.Chat has network policies all its
+ users are expected to follow, and `#fases` is no exception.
+ Follow the [Libera.Chat network policies](https://libera.chat/policies/)!
If you break some of the rules, you'll be given *2* warnings before being
banned in most cases.
