Indian Chatrooms on Decentralized Networks

Welcome!

This website lists public multi-user chatrooms/channels (MUC) on decentralized networks such as XMPP, IRC, and [matrix]. In addition to listing popular MUC, we also aim to provide tutorials and recommendations for chat clients. It's a community lead project. If you want to get involved or list your MUC, please email at swatantra at disroot dot org. We hope you find this website helpful - comments are always welcomed.
