+Pumping Station: One has an IRC channel on Libera.chat:
-  server: irc.freenode.net
+  server: irc.libera.chat
   channel: #pumpingstationone
-If you don't know how to or can't use an IRC client, you can use our [http://pumpingstationone.org/chat/ web chat] instead. You'll be chatting in no time.
 The channel's useful for talking to members and parts of our outlying non-member community. If you have a problem or questions, voiced (people with a + symbol) users should be able to help you.
-=== Web Client ===
-Follow this link: [http://pumpingstationone.org/chat/ web chat]
 === Matrix ===
 https://matrix.org is another chat technology.
-It's IRC integration is pretty nice, but #pumpingstationone is not quite one click away.
+Its IRC integration is pretty nice, but #pumpingstationone is not quite one click away, yet.
+Easy way:
+* create an account: https://app.element.io
+* join the ps1 room: https://app.element.io/#/room/#pumpingstationone:libera.chat
+If you don't want to rely on that companies SaaS, pick another or host your own server.  you can host it as PS1 if you want.  it is fun.
+Some other options:
+https://matrix.to/#/#pumpingstationone:libera.chat
+Of those options, Element is popular.  Works well on both desktop and phones.  We use it to send cat pictures pretty often ;)
-Some options:
+FluffyChat is my new favorite: https://christianpauly.github.io/fluffychat/en/
-https://matrix.to/#/#freenode_#pumpingstationone:matrix.org
-Of those options, Riot is popular.  We use it to send cat pictures pretty often ;)
+The first time you run a client it will walk you though account creation if you don't have one.  For instance:
-Once you sign yourself up for an account, then  #pumpingstationone is one click away:
+https://matrix.org/try-now/
-https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#pumpingstationone:matrix.org
+ * Start element web
+ * try element
+ * open in your browser
+ * create account
+Once you sign yourself up for an account, then  #pumpingstationone is one click away and you can waste time with us.
