Chinafakes - A place to discuss bootleg and generic toys from China.

I know a good number of people here do not like Discord. It’s understandable, I don’t like it either to be honest. In fact, the only reason we chose it in the first place is because it’s easy for people to make new accounts on and most people already have accounts on there anyways. However, we’re aware of the fact that discord obviously has its shortcomings, so we’re experimenting with a bot that will allow messages from specific IRC channels to go to their corresponding Discord channels (and vice versa). If this goes particularly well we may experiment with bridging to and from other platforms in the future, such as Matrix and XMPP. Note that while this is scheduled to happen eventually it may take a bit of time to get working, especially with all the other things I’m juggling currently, so don’t expect it immediately. I’ll make another post (and reply to this one with a link to it) when we do get the bridge up and running! :)
