@prologic@twtxt.net sometimes I think it would be nice to have a XMPP instance. then I remember it’s all XML and I think “nah.”

I am constantly in awe that IRC remains the only realtime chat that isn’t unnecessarily complex. name another that can run chatops bot with just nc and sh?

@prologic@twtxt.net that would be an interesting idea. I think your current spec of using an SMTP proto is probably best for DM.

but having a federation of IRC servers would be interesting for realtime twt propagation.
