I don't have any issues atm (tried again with different connections, etc.).
Is it common, does others have this issue too?

Hello,
...
...
...
...
...
Due to the current situation, there are more and more
...
collaborations
...
...
...
...
...
happening online instead. and now you can see Wikimedia-related
...
...
...
...
discussion
...
...
...
...
...
groups in Slack, Discord, Telegram, Facebook, and many more.
...
Besides
...
...
...
...
being
...
...
...
...
...
scattered and inaccessible to people who don't have accounts in
...
those
...
...
...
...
...
platforms (for privacy reasons for example), these platforms use
...
...
...
...
...
proprietary and closed-source software, are outside Wikimedia
...
...
...
...
...
infrastructure and some harvest our personal data for profit.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
IRC on freenode is a good alternative but it lacks basic
...
...
...
functionalities
...
...
...
...
of
...
...
...
...
...
a modern chat platform. So we created Wikimedia Chat, a
mattermost
...
...
...
...
instance
...
...
...
...
...
in Wikimedia Cloud. Compared to IRC, you have:
...
...
...
...
...
* Ability to scrollback and read messages when you were

offline
...
...
...
...
...
* Push notification and email notification

...
...
...
...
...
* You don't need to get a cloak to hide your IP from others

...
...
...
...
...
* Proper support for sharing media

...
...
...
...
...
* Two factor authentication

...
...
...
...
...
* A proper mobile app support

...
...
...
...
...
* Ability to add custom emojis (yes, it's extremely

important)
...
...
...
...
...
* Profile pictures

...
...
...
...
...
* Ability to ping everyone with @here

...
...
...
...
...
* much much more.

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
You can use Wikimedia Chat by going to https://chat.wmcloud.org,
...
...
...
anyone
...
...
...
...
...
can
...
...
...
...
...
make an account. This is part of Wikimedia Social suite [1], the
...
oher
...
...
...
...
...
similar project is "Wikimedia Meet". [2]

...

Some notes:
...
...
...
...
...

This is done in my volunteer capacity and has been maintained

by
...
a
...
...
...
...
group
...
...
...
...
...
of volunteers. If you're willing to join the team (either
technical
...
...
or
...
...
...
...
...
enforcing CoC, kicking out spammers, other daily work), drop me a
...
...
...
...
message.
...

Privacy policy of Wikimedia Cloud applies: https://w.wiki/aQW

As a result, all messages older than 90 days get automatically

deleted.

As a Wikimedia Cloud project, all of discussions, private and

issues,

...
...
...

file a bug in the phabricator.
