There's no reason to delete the info if we are using this

right now.
sound a good approach.
The thing is that for the last months for practical purposes many of us
started using telegram... we need to see what to do with that!
anyway... +1 for the IRC channel.
For those of you that run telegram matrix/riot is a perfectly suitable
alternative [1] [2] [3]
You don't need to put your phone, your server can run inside your
community network (install steps [4])
I did a IRC freenode/#libremesh-dev channel that integrates with:
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#libremesh-dev:matrix.guifi.net
or
https://matrix.guifi.net/app/#/room/#libremesh-dev:matrix.guifi.net
or
in your server [4]
right now, privacy settings are turned off: it's a completely public
channel (with logs); similar to IRC. But you can enable encryption and
some privacy settings.

[5] Security information (en)
Communication between server and your client is secure (https) but the
admins of this service can read all non end-to-end encrypted messages.
On Riot provides you asynchronous encryption capabilities for
individual and group roomsthrough Double Ratchet Algorithm. Your
metadata (emisor, receptor, cuándo, etc.) is still exposed, "We kill
people based on metadata" said someone. If you think that what you
have to say could be dangerous for you or your people use other tools
to communicate, if you don't know what to use try with retroshare.
Matrix is decentralized: You don't need to trust this service, come
on! install your own matrix server like this one
