@whitequark 100%

@whitequark well yeah, so i haven't seen anyone try to spec this yet. i'm slightly terrified of this realization, but also sorta amazed and happy (while it's not yet real), because this could well be so much better of a composition than trying to fix xmpp or matrix, and would get us decent e2ee without ss7 dependencies

@whitequark i had a realization last night that adding MLS support to ircv3 would be kind of easy, and if i wasn't knee deep fixing linux fonts i'd be on it. the first prototype in halloy is basically "drop in a lib", and then soju can handle being a "keydistributor", then extending ircv3 tags you get full e2ee. it's then even a minor step to add MIMI to soju and you have interop with other systems once MIMI is actually real

@whitequark yup, i still run a soju just so i don't have to setup multiple servers per device (and also deals with legacy servers nicely)
