Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Interactive_Simulation or you mean the match-making protocol?
I think matchmaking should be done on a per-game basis (or at least it's a different issue.)
I'm more referring to how players connect, such as having friend lists, joining those friends, and the profiles we see in and out of games.
This protocol looks interesting, and I'll have to learn more about it.
The standard protocol for friends list and "who's online" would be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP
Or Matrix.
What's the MM variant?

Fuckin sick! Sign me up! If only I had friends......
