gollark: I was envisioning a somewhat more IRC-like thing where you commune directly with each server you want to join.
gollark: That would possibly expose your IP to it which might be bad.
gollark: How should profile pictures work? Presumably you'd want them globally set, so they'd be fetched from your identity server, but would each server you chat in have to proxy them or something?
gollark: The actual messaging features are in a different spec to their bizarre XML encapsulation formats.
gollark: Indeed. I think we may be slightly reinventing XMPP, but XMPP is beeoid due to it being overly "extensible".
