Chatrooms
Our online activity is mostly focused on our chatrooms. Because there are people among us with various preferences regarding the chat technologies used, the same chatrooms are available in form of IRC, Matrix and Telegram channels – bridged with each other. Currently (the end of 2021), definitely the most popular chat system among us is Telegram – but also Matrix and IRC users participate in the discussions.
If you feel a need to bridge another chat system, please read the disclaimer.
The language we usually use on our chatrooms (as for the end of 2021) is Polish, but don't fear posting in English. Most of us can speak it well and we'll switch to English whenever there is such a need. Some of us can also speak at least some Russian, German, French or Esperanto.
Telegram | t.me/hakierspejs |
IRC | #hakierspejs at irc.libera.chat |
Matrix | #hs-ldz:hackerspace.pl |
Our main tool of communication. We talk here about topics related to the life of our Hackerspace society and about everything at least loosely related to IT, open source, science and technology. We are trying to avoid topics which might be controversial.
Telegram | t.me/hsl_info |
IRC | #hakierspejs-info at irc.libera.chat |
Matrix | #hs-ldz-24:hackerspace.pl |
Hackerspace announcement board. On Telegram it's turned into slow mode, each user can send at most a single message every 15 minutes. We post here all important information, questions and notifications about changes. A good practice is not muting this channel.
Telegram | t.me/hakierspejs_spam |
IRC | #hakierspejs-offtop at irc.libera.chat |
Matrix | #hs-ldz-offtopic:hackerspace.pl |
The second HSŁ channel, for talks on more loose topics and for posting memes. The name comes from the unicorn of Łódź.
We aren't posting the link deliberately – but it's not difficult to find. |
A channel with the moderation limited to the minimum, out of the control of the Association authorities. You can write about politics and controversial issues. If you have doubts if you can post something on the main channel – the best idea is to do it here.
Telegram | t.me/joinchat/UYf2ONtNj21J1DS6 |
IRC | #hakierspejs-walks at irc.libera.chat |
Matrix | #hs-ldz-spacerspejs:hackerspace.pl |
Though it may seem different, one sometimes has to leave the basement. Even a hacker needs fresh air. This channel is for arranging walks and trips and for posting live photos from interesting places in the real world.
Telegram | t.me/hslodzbot |
IRC | #hakierspejs-machines at irc.libera.chat |
Matrix | #hs-ldz-machines:matrix.org |
A channel used for testing bots. Also various technical notifications are sent on it, for example about failures or restarts of various bots. Of course it can also be used as the third channel for discussions, if there is such a need. Mod permissions are granted to everyone who asks for them.
According to the do-ocracy philosophy – if you don't like any of the mentioned chat systems, there is nothing wrong if you bridge another. Mind that it's best to bridge with IRC or Matrix, as on Telegram bots cannot see other bots (and this way by bridging your channel with Telegram, you won't be able to see the posts coming from the IRC and Matrix bridges). Currently (at the end of 2021), for bridging IRC, Matrix and Telegram with each other, we are using Matterbridge, which makes it easy to bridge other chat systems – but remember that this may be out of date; the architecture of our bridges has already changed multiple times.
