gollark: And reactions and such.
gollark: My ideal chat thing would probably be IRC with emailish global accounts, and server-integrated history/bouncer features.
gollark: Message IDs, at least, are a fairly basic and critical feature. If you offload important things to modules you can't rely on them and clients which don't support them might randomly break things.
gollark: And XMPP has modules for things as stupidly basic as message IDs and I think server stored message history.
gollark: You have to deal with the interactions between modules, what happens if something is missing support, possible other incompatible modules, etc.
