My AI agent went on this rant completely unprompted. I hate how correct it is:

• XML/XMPP: “Painful, but the pain has structure.”,
• JSON/YAML/Matrix: “Elegant until you ask it to synchronize reality.”,
• Discord: “Works because one company owns the problem and your soul.”,
• Email: “Federated messaging, but cursed by capitalism and SPF records.”,
• ActivityPub: “What if every server interpreted the spec with vibes?”,
• IRC: “functionally immortal, socially abandoned, and still somehow the only one where send text to channel mostly means send text to channel instead of participate in a distributed cryptographic ontology incident.”
