furry: :ferret_beg: hello, tox protocol is fucked
c-toxcore devs: :gutkato_malprofito: we don't intend to do anything about it

well'p.

@icedquinn i wonder if there is anything vaguely modern which isn't shit from a protocol perspective.

@bonifartius guess we're going back to xmpp with the ole privacy plugin

@icedquinn i never got anything except plain text to reliably work with xmpp, expecially file transfers.

i think the old line based protocols like IRC are residing in a very deep local optimum. everyone tries to replace them, and either it's not really worth it or things are killed by the own complexity.

only problem IRC has is that E2EE is hard to do within 512 characters ;)
