   There are two types of network protocol:

   • Ones with a single implementation
   • Ones people hate (ActivityPub, DNS, SMTP/email, BGP, …)

   This is slightly facetious but non the less broadly true

     @meeper pretty sure that if you ask implementers they’ll tell you that IRC the wire protocol sucks donkey balls

     @michcia @meeper even bot implementers run into stupidities like the maximum message size being undefined

     @erincandescent @meeper server and client implementers, probably
     bot implementers heavily outnumber them but is it the most important thing

     @erincandescent I guess with the single implementation you just hate the software rather than the protocol, which is kind of sad as sometimes there's good protocols and awful first implementations.
