gollark: Matrix is somewhat cool in that instead of, like IRC/XMPP, just relaying events as they happen from some central trusted servers, it is a protocol for synchronizing an eventually consistent chatroom between everyone everywhere.
gollark: It's a possibly better chat thing I haven't looked into much.
gollark: As I said: oneish working implementations, a giant spec, and also (I didn't actually say this) hundreds of megabytes of memory use if you join big rooms.
gollark: Yes, that.
gollark: The user-visible stuff is... mostly fine.
