The fases community mainly uses IRC:

#fases on rx (webchat):

  • server: irc.andrewyu.org;
  • ssl: 6697 (recommended);
  • plain: 6667.

#fases on Libera.Chat (webchat):

  • server: irc.libera.chat;
  • ssl: 6697 (recommended);
  • plain: 6667.

Although less used, we also have an XMPP channel:

  • 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:

  • 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. 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.

  • Offtopic discussions are allowed, but please keep those at a minimum.

  • 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 that rule is broken, you may be banned without warnings depending on severity.

  • 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!

If you break some of the rules, you'll be given 2 warnings before being banned in most cases.

Operators/Moderators

There's currently only one:

  • Ferass El Hafidi, f_ / f_[xmpp].

If you think you can moderate then please let us know!

The rules above for the chat also apply to the mailing list.
