Mumble + IRC or XMPP works well.
I was going to say: is IRC not still a thing?
Don't many of the IRC servers expose your IP address and have bots that store every chat message?
Some outdated ones do, but it is very easy to run your own modern IRC server that does none of that.
For a foss project irc logs of channels are important makes irc into google able knowledge. For privacy, use matrix and encryption.
is that a thing ? googleable IRC chat logs for FOSS projects ? I haven't seen any
How do you set this up? Do you use two seperate apps or are there apps that integrate both?
It's separate, but you can use Matterbridge to connect the chat if you really want.
Alternatively you can use Jitsi Meet, which can be integrated with Ergo and an IRC webclient like Convos, but that isn't a simple setup then anymore.
Yeah I hope IRC sees a renaissance again. The late 90s/early 2000s IRC scene was a major vibe. But so was the internet in general back then.
I got on IRC recently to see how things were these days and everywhere I went was really dead. Felt like a shadow of its former self.
