<a href="https://vtluug.org/wiki/Matrix#Babby.27s_Guide_to_Using_Matrix"><h3>If you're unfamiliar with IRC/Matrix and just want to chat, follow this guide.</h3></a>
<h2>Matrix</h2>
<p>Matrix is a (comparatively) new FLOSS-friendly chat protocol, with support for End2End message encryption and server federation.</p>
<p>The LUUG hosts its own matrix homeserver, with a public Space at <code>#vtluug:matrix.vtluug.org</code>, and a main room at <code>#vtluug-g:matrix.vtluug.org</code> that's bridged to the below IRC channel. If you want to make an account on our homeserver, ask a member for the registration token or follow the guide linked above. Otherwise, <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#vtluug:matrix.vtluug.org">just click here to join using the matrix.org homeserver!</a></p>
<h2>IRC</h2>
<p>Internet Relay Chat is a tried-and-true broadcast messaging protocol favored
by free and open source software projects. The Linux and Unix Users Group at
Virginia Tech has a relatively active channel, <code>#vtluug</code>, on <a href="http://oftc.net/">OFTC</a>.</p>

<li><a href="ircs://irc.oftc.net:6697/vtluug">Link for native clients</a></li>
</ul>
<p>We host an instance of TheLounge, a full-fledged in-browser IRC client and 24/7 bouncer at <a href="https://irc.vtluug.org">irc.vtluug.org</a> for members (or anyone that shows up to a meeting and asks). It pretty much gives IRC the UI/UX of Discord, without the <a href="https://stallman.org/discord.html">anti-freedom</a>.</p>
<br>
We also have a full tutorial for setting up weechat, a common IRC client, on our <a href="https://vtluug.org/wiki/WeeChat">wiki</a>.
