Ngangijwayele ukuxoxa kakhulu iminyaka eminingi. Lezo kwakuyizikhathi lapho i-MSN yayifana ne-WhatsApp yamanje, leyo eyayinikezwa kuphela abanye abantu esibajwayele noma abantu esibaziyo enetheni futhi sibathanda. Kulezi zinsuku, amaqembu amaningi akhetha ezinye izindlela ezinjengeTelegram noma iDiscord, kepha umphakathi weLinux usekhona kulokho okwaziwa njengezingxoxo ze-IRC. Ukuba kude kancane nalelo zwe, ekuqaleni bengingazinakile kangako lezi zindaba, kepha vele iqiniso lelo umphakathi weLinux uthuthela eLibera.
Kuze kube yileli sonto, iningi labo belisebenzisa iFreenode. Kusekuqaleni kwaleli sonto lapho ngibone khona kuTwitter ukuthi uXubuntu uzoshiya phansi I-Freenode ukuba nezingxoxo zabo eLibera.Chat, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi ngoba angiyena umsebenzisi walolo hlobo lwezinsizakalo zemiyalezo futhi, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngoba kunambitheka kobuntu engicabanga ukuthi akuyona intandokazi yomphakathi, angizange anginaki kakhulu. Kamuva washo okufanayo Ubuntu, ukuze kuthi ngemuva nje kokunye ukunambitheka kulandelwe. Namuhla ngubani ishicilelwe inothi kulokhu kube yiFedora.
ILibera.Chat sekuvele kuyikhaya elisha le-Ubuntu neFedora
Kukho konke ukuxhumana okusemthethweni engikufundile, amaphrojekthi abe nenhlonipho futhi asho kuphela "izinguquko zenqubomgomo" nokunye okunjalo, kepha ngokungekho emthethweni i-twist entsha nayo igxekwe kabuhlungu, yaze yaqinisekisa nokuthi uFreenode wayehlale namagama eziteshi ezisemthethweni ze-Ubuntu. Yinto mina ngokwami engingakwazanga ukuyiqinisekisa, kepha kukhona okwenzekayo, njengoba iProject Fedora isho:
Kusukela yasungulwa, iFedora Project isebenzise inethiwekhi ye-IRC freenode ekuxhumaneni kwethu kwephrojekthi. Ngenxa yezinguquko ezahlukahlukene zakamuva kuleyo nethiwekhi, iFedora Project ihambisa ukuxhumana kwethu kwe-IRC eLibera.Chat.
Kubasebenzisi benethiwekhi, wonke amanothi engiwafundile aqinisekisa ukuthi konke kuzoqhubeka njengakuqala, kepha ukuthi kuzodingeka uphinde ubhalise eLibera.Chat. Ngokuqondene nekusasa likaFreenode, izinto azibukeki kahle. Abanye bathi ikhona ngenxa ye-FOSS (isoftware yamahhala nevulekile yomthombo), futhi lo mzila awuzukusiza ngalutho. Uma kwenzekile, kungenxa yokuthi kube khona "ukuthengwa okunobutha" futhi izinguquko ezinqala lokho umphakathi wawungakuthandi. Uma yonke into injengokuthi bayayipenda, uFreenode ufile, phila iLibera ende. Xoxa.
