gollark: Skynet does application-level pings, the websocket ping frames are kind of annoying.
gollark: The issue with the websocket protocol-level ping is that neither JS nor CC can actually see if one was received recently, as far as I can tell.
gollark: Yes, skynet does that, but mostly so it can detect disconnected clients itself and obliterate them rapidly.
