Joe, all tools are available. All that is needed is a _personal decision_ to
use them. It is a personal decision to
- not give all your contacts to whatsapp, gmail, apple, hotmail, facebook
but use an own cloud instance for it
- not drag all your contacts into whatsapp
but give them an XMPP account instead
- not give google and apple all your tracking data
but reflash your mobile and feed your data into your personal mqtt service
- not use gmail accounts
but use your own private email service
- not use zoom,webex,teams et al
but use your cloud service for that
- not use whatsapp/facebook for voice/video calls
but use your XMPP client for that with no need to give your mobile number
It's all _there_ _now_. If you don't use it you simply _decided_ against it.
Make that transparent to yourself.

high engagement use it, too. While I agree that I wish the open source
community would adopt open source tools, the reality is we still use
GitHub, Slack, and Zoom for the majority of them. Using the tools that
your community is already using is usually a more effective way of
supporting engagement.

stuff and use XMPP, about the only free/GPLed messenger service.
It has:
- no central provider
- no central servers
- server software free for anyone to install
- lots of free xmpp services around
- crypted or not crypted on user choice
-> https://xmpp.org/
You use email, why?

We (at least many developers and some users) actively use Slack at
https://gluster.slack.com
While I agree that it's not a free/open alternative to IRC, it does get
many questions answered, and also gets communication happen related to the
project.

I'm relatively new to the community but I would vote for having a point
of presence on libera.chat, or OFTC as some other F/OSS projects are
moving there as an alternative. I use IRC daily for supporting my own
projects as well as related projects such as GlusterFS. Personally I
hadn't heard of Matrix until the whole Freenode fiasco happened, so I
would imagine others may be in the same boat. Anyway, just my $0.02 :)

I hope many of us are aware of the recent changes that happened at
Freenode IRC network(in case you are not, feel free to look into
details based on various resignation letters from long-time then
Freenode staff starting with [1]). In the light of this take over
situation, many open source communities have moved over to its
replacement i.e, libera.chat[2].
Now I would like to open this up to GlusterFS community to think about
moving forward with our current IRC channels(#gluster, #gluster-dev and
#gluster-meeting) on Freenode. How important are those channels for
GlusterFS project? How about moving over to libera.chat in case we
stick to IRC communication?
Let's discuss and conclude on the way forward..
Note:- Matrix[3] platform is also an option nowadays and we do have a
Gluster room(#gluster:matrix.org) there ! welcome..welcome :-)
