gollark: Make a bridge whether they want it or not. If they ban it, constantly make new accounts.
gollark: Anyway, the dependencies make sense, to me; mithril is a JS framework doing VDOM and HTTP requests, remark-parse is a Markdown parser and parsing Markdown is very hard, and date-fns is a datetime handling library.
gollark: That's so niche that nobody has bothered, except possibly organizations like Google.
gollark: Decompression (for gzip anyway) is so fast that it's probably negligible.
gollark: * the dependencies
