So… Here’s a thought…

If [Matrix] is built on a decentralised/distributed event syncing and a basic model of “Room”

And:

IRC is a centralised text based protocols with client to server and server to server networking and a basic model of “Channels” and “Users”

Then:

Yarn.social can build a “Chat” system based on the already existing and established decentralised/distributed syncing of feeds with a model of well umm feeds

🤔 🤣
