Ephemeral Chat Service Specification
Status of This Memo
This memo describes a chat service for people who think modern
messaging platforms prioritize animated GIFs over typesetting.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
slaac.net is a stateless, ephemeral chat service that renders
LaTeX, offers exactly two reactions ([ACK] and [NAK]), and
automatically kicks users who send emoji or ASCII smileys.
Messages expire. There are no accounts, no DMs, no threads,
no animated GIFs, and no Rickrolls.
Channel names are valid IPv6 addresses. Users are identified
by randomly assigned MAC addresses. This is a joke.
A well-engineered joke.
Features
LaTeX rendering via KaTeX ($\int_0^\infty e^{-x}\,dx = 1$)
Channels named after IPv6 addresses (e.g. #fe80::1)
Random MAC address identity per session
Messages expire after 4-48 hours
Two reactions: [ACK] and [NAK]. That's it.
Emoji sends you packing (RFC-9999 violation)
