FAQ	#FFF	#327E82	left	COMMUNICATION	100	question answer I can't connect to Matrix. Why? <p>We decided to discontinue <b>Matrix</b> since September, 2018. You can read the reasons <a href='https://disroot.org/en/blog/matrix-closure' target='_blank'>here</a>.</p> <p>You can also find more information about the privacy impact of Matrix <a href='https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-matrix.org' target='_blank'>here</a></p> question answer How do I use Disroot's IRC in XMPP rooms? <p><b>Disroot</b> provides so-called IRC gateway. This means you can join any IRC room hosted on any IRC server. This is the basic address schema:</p> <ol> <li>To join an IRC room: <b>#room%irc.domain.tld@irc.disroot.org</b></li> <li>To add an IRC contact: <b>contactname%irc.domain.tld@irc.disroot.org</b></li> </ol> <p>Where <b>#room</b> is the IRC room you want to join and <b>irc.domain.tld</b> is the irc server address you want to join. Make sure to leave <b>@irc.disroot.org</b> as it is because it's the IRC gateways address.</p> question answer I can’t connect to Diaspora* with my Disroot account. <p>Since <b>Diaspora*</b> doesn’t support <b>LDAP</b> (the software protocol we use to access services with a single account) it is not possible to login with <b>Disroot</b> credentials. You need to create a different account <a href='https://pod.disroot.org/' target='_blank'>here</a>. However, registrations are currently closed.</p>
