gollark: IRCv3 could be good if anyone actually supported it.
gollark: Haven't looked much but it seems to also be convoluted and have way too many extensions.
gollark: My issues with it aren't that. I just don't think it's a good protocol/software design.
gollark: I know about Matrix but don't consider it very good.
