gollark: - better interserver capability than IRC's weird tree thing

gollark: osmarksdecentralizedchatoid™ featuring:- approximately IRCous design instead of the matrix state synchronisation one - channels belong to a particular server which manages history and permissions and such- global accounts looking somewhat like email addresses. Or maybe they're just public keys and people have to something something web of trust the actual name.- end to end encryption option for small private channels

gollark: Libsodium?

gollark: Perhaps I should add osmarksdecentralizedchatoid™ to my list of never to be completed projects.

gollark: Maybe Matrix would be better as IRC + end to end encrypted chatrooms + identity servers, yes.
