gollark: What if a server evilly edits message history? Just saying "don't trust X" never really works for users.
gollark: How would E2EE work? How do files work - obviously your identity server could probably double as a file host, but what if you don't want to expose your IP to stuff - must your identity server also proxy files for you?!
gollark: Anyway, there are a lot of unresolved details.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Basically IRCv3 with a structured-data packet format, all desirable-now features made mandatory, and something like the old "ident servers" but actually good for accounts.
