Well it's a free world after all , so you are welcome to use whatever you like.
But on the one hand you talk about safety and then you mention IRC which is the polar opposite to safety.
I also consider another chat client , rocket chat
https://rocket.chat
This one is open source using our favorite license MIT, and available at Github. It already offers screen sharing and a client for Linux. But it does not have a client on iOS and Android which for me at least is a big deal.
Well the way I see it is like this, it's kinda ironic to love live code and live data but not live chat, and kinda funny too. Of course they offer far more than chat.On Thu, 8 Sep 2016 at 23:49, Gour <gour@atmarama.com> wrote:On Thu, 08 Sep 2016 19:36:24 +0000

When we speak about 'services for free', I'm always suspicious in regard
to privacy...here is a recent post
(https://threema.ch/en/blog/posts/another-diminishment-of-privacy-whatsapp-shares-users-phone-numbers-with-facebook)
confirming it...I understand that many users like new/better services,
but, personally, I'd be happy staying with old IRC considering that in
order to preserve jewels, mailing lists are much better option that
chatting apps.
Moreover, there is no native app for Linux - something available with
Slack and Gitter (which I like due to ability to use markdown markup).
Sincerely,
Gour
