tilde.chat 
hey hi
tilde.chat is the irc network of the tildeverse, an association of social unix servers built as an intentional community for teaching, learning, and sharing.
tilde.chat is a place for tilde-folk and friends to gather and communicate.
connection info
point your client to irc.tilde.chat on port 6697 with ssl/tls
if you're getting a higher ping than you'd like, try one of the geo-round-robins: na.tilde.chat, eu.tilde.chat, and au.tilde.chat on port 6697 with ssl/tls.
plaintext on localhost port 6667 is available at a shell on tildes that run chat nodes (port 7766 on ~town)
if you don't have a client ready to go, try using our webchat.
you can also connect from any xmpp client with our biboumi gateway. it runs on tilde.team's xmpp server. channels can be joined with this room-format: #helpdesk@biboumi.tilde.team
mumble server
use your client to connect to tilde.chat on the default port using "tilde.chat" as the password and talk!
there's also a web client. use the same password.
might not be anyone there. shout about it on irc first!
