# Chat with us!

We try our best to let people use their favorite chat client to join us.
Currently, we use native [Matrix] rooms which are also accessible via [Jabber/XMPP] and [IRC].
For pre-existing projects, their official chatrooms are bridged where possible, even if they're on the non-libre [Discord] platform.
New projects should take advantage of [FreeGameDev]'s cross-platform integration.
reformat chat-with-us.md for plain editing * split long lines at sentences, move markdown links to their own lines * drop TODOs, direct links for templates pointless, see chatroom list * only provide enough protocol details for someone already familiar * standardise links to bridging software and their documentation
