gollark: It seems to be under active development so I assume they'll fix stuff eventually.
gollark: I decided to run dendrite, so technically I'm reachable on matrix.osmarks.net now? It's somewhat flaky because dendrite is quite experimental. Synapse would have used waaaay too much RAM.
gollark: Also, instead of consisting of multiple disconnected IRC networks, any servers can federate and participate in rooms together.
gollark: It's designed for more discord-style persistent chats, for one thing.
gollark: Have people here heard of matrix? It's a decentralized chat thing which seems neat. I'm running a homeserver for it (well, attempting to).
