@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Isn't that just an argument for its perpetual *coexistence* with other systems, though? Kind of by definition that property means that the protocol won't/shouldn't meaningfully evolve, and so it fills a very specific niche that it makes no sense to develop replacements for, but that also doesn't match what most people are looking to get out of a chat system. So I'd more think of it like "IRC plus something else" rather than "IRC instead of something else".
