we need IRC with a matrix or discord-like user interface that supports (and hosts) user uploads. the-lounge is fine but it's not quite there. matrix is so fucking bad
Interesting. I know the Synapse developers are working on the new thing, Element X, so I'm interested to see how that goes. Honestly I don't know the difference between all this shit. Synapse has its problems no doubt, I just hope it gets better with time.
If that's the case though, if a user deletes their local storage (assuming each user hosts their own data), there's no way to get that back. It may be less accessible for users who aren't as savvy. I dunno. Either way, I wish you the best of luck with this.
