gollark: Maybe eventually coming: the ability to lock channels' read/write access with a key.

gollark: The Lua client connects to a JS websocket server which relays messages between the sockets.
gollark: All those using skynet must update or else. I have made a new version including:* one websocket for all channels, which is probably better* a different protocol (contact me for instructions on out-of-game use)* a slightly different API - shouldn't really be noticeable* actual handling of the server failingand it's backwards-incompatible, so like I said, update or else.
gollark: At least it doesn't use proof of stake or something!
