Notes

  1. Kukla, pp. 45-46
gollark: What I'd like, ideally, is maybe something like IRC, but with global email-like accounts and serverside history/bouncer capabilities (IRCv3 has this but no big networks run it as far as I know).
gollark: Oh, it did randomly break.
gollark: But it doesn't implement the full protocol despite years of development.
gollark: I run Dendrite, assuming it didn't randomly break at some point (I haven't checked), and that at least seems to have been improved to not use that much RAM *most* of the time.
gollark: I also don't like that Matrix is an unusably complex protocol requiring giant and resource-hungry server software even for small installs.
