well there’s the problem, i have a small server available but it only has 4 GB in total and i’m also hosting other things on it, including a luanti game world
Its running about 1GB for me and my server setup. It spikes a bit if there is a lot going on, but it can get low than that when its just idling. Its not terrible, but given irc and other clients which take MB for RAM...its a bit of a hog-ish.

Im running the equivalent to a pi 5 so yeah it can run with a slight delay. You may have some issues with the spikes, definitely if its more than a couple of people.
Also updates sometimes borks the server. Ive stopped updating until I have time to really sit down and understand what changed.

there should be a more efficient re-implementation but i don’t have time to even attempt that :/

Conduit is a Rust implementation that runs OK, but obviously doesn’t have feature parity

Yeah thats fair.

IRC is dead simple. You cant compare something like matrix to it in terms of resource usage thats not fair. 1GB of ram usage if fine for a server application that does messaging, pictures and video.

So we need to bring back IRC, if someone doesn’t know how it works - well, I don’t want to talk with such person. Bring back gatekeeping

IRC doesnt fit the requirements though. I cant send pictures or videos, I cant make little icons to react, I cant quote reply, I dont get push notifications when pinged. You may think these arent nessesary but to majority of users they are and I dont think IRC is going to adapt to include them.
