How is that not an XMPP problem?
- jhasse 10y agoBecause it works fine with the right client.
- davecridland 10y agoI'd really appreciate more detail, here.
- jhasse 10y agoIf everyone is using Conversations as their client, group chats work fine. Issues arrise when you introduce other clients into the mix ...
- brainfire 10y agoSo Conversations has implemented a feature that isn't in the protocol, but important enough that when the feature doesn't work, users are turned off? Or it's part of the protocol, but design decisions lead to client interoperability problems? Maybe there's a third answer, but both of these are problems with XMPP.
- jimktrains2 10y agoMulti user chats/chatrooms are part of the protocol though.
- jhasse 10y agoIt's part of the protocol, but many clients don't implement it correctly.
- jimktrains2 10y agoI meant that "users perceive it as something XMPP can't do", so it's not a protocol-level issue, as the feature exists, but a branding and compatibility issue. Those, depending on how you define XMPP, are part of XMPP's problem.
