  • the internet has plenty of communities.

    as much as I don't like linking there, the /r/unclebens community is great. It's based on a very easy guide to grow your own, and get advise if there are still questions.

    I don't think there's a lemmy community about it. yet.

    100% agree with the post. The chances that you will just get cured from your depression with some shrooms are greater than 0, but getting an assistent trip with a professional will greatly increase your chances. Getting a professional who is willing to do it, even off the record, is the hard part

  • I never really did very much with IRC on a protocol level. I just know that it's ultra simple, and suffers similar problems as xmpp: it's not really meant for multidevices with a shared backlog.

    I'm sure there are projects to enhance IRC with proper e2e encryption and chat sync, but you really want something that has modern usage in mind from the ground up. IRC and xmpp are just very 90s.

    note: it's now been a couple years since I last took a deeper dive into xmpp and matrix, so things might have changed. But especially for xmpp, I can't really see how without breaking compatibility. The protocol is just very... special in its own way

  • Granted, it has been a couple years and it could be a bit better, but XMPP is a horrible, horrible protocol to work with. From the ground up.

    Matrix might be bloated nowadays, but that's nothing to the horribleness of xmpp.
