Hi everyone,
They were issues with various things due to a CenturyLink outage that then
impacted a lot else. (IRCCloud / Cloudflare for example).
Maybe, try now?
Thanks,

Hey Amir,
Please take this email as positive feedback, even
if it might not
sound like it :)
As much as I value software freedom and my
personal data, I've learned
during the years that the best conversations
happen where people
converge naturally, not where one wants them to
be. What you describe
below is an awesome list of features ... that
already exist elsewhere.
I could give you an equally long list of things
that are missing, but
individually, none of them matter. What matters
is which platform most
people choose, based on which of the features are
important for them.
And that platform might be different for
different projects.
What that means is that Wikimedia Chat will be
just another name in
that long list of apps that people choose to use
or not. It's fine if
you want to maintain it, it's great if it
will gain traction, but
don't be too upset if it will have the same
usage as Wikimedia Spaces.
