# 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.
