emus: don't care, whatever :)

emus, anything I still need to do?

No, thats alright, thanks

wurstsalat: If you want, you might take a look whats the build error with the newsletter

emus, that one ran 20 days ago, and says there is a linting error in clients.json with txmpp. that was fixed since iirc. a new commit should trigger a fresh build

A new commit to the txmpp or the Newsletter?

To the newsletter PR

You could merge the xep PR for example

Is it ready to close?

merge*

emus, it is good to go, but there might be updates until the end of the month

So you prefer to keep it or merge?

emus, I’d rather keep it open until the end of the month, but if it comforts you to have succeeding build.. :)

no is fine. My gut feeling says a merge will not solve this

Sorry, but how can I organize contacts on Conversation app (friends, family, work, etc)?

Paganini: you can't

Paganini: also, try to join that channel

> Paganini: you can't Oh, that's bad. New users won't like that. It's strange, because it's possible on "aTalk", and aTalk is a brand new Android XMPP client.

Paganini, you can display each contact’s group (in advanced settings)

they’ll be displayed as group 'tags'

I just want to organize contacts per category (Friends, Family, Connections, Acquaintances, Work, etc). I can't find that option. I can do that litterally in every instant messenger I've been using in the past 25 years. ✏

Paganini, I think you’re better off here: xmpp:conversations@conference.siacs.eu?join

wurstsalat: Thanks, but nobody here can answer this question? I mean, it seems to me that it is a simple question. Is it possible or not?

Paganini, I don’t know if you can _set_ groups in conversations. but it can display then as Tags, nothing more

I don't want chaos on my contacts. I need to organize them by categories/circles/groups.

Paganini, this is no Conversations support chat

I know that. So nobody here uses Conversations... That speaks volumes... What app are you using? aTalk?

Paganini, may you try to find a better group to exchange those thing. Gajim can do somthing like this I think, but is Desktop client. --> https://search.jabber.network/rooms/1

Paganini: > I know that. So nobody here uses Conversations... That speaks volumes... What app are you using? aTalk? We are...but there's a topic here...and it's not Conversations

Kinda disappointed that languages with so many translators and natives are still not ready and that just delays translations already done. :( Anyway here the translated twitter text for you to use: Mesagerie instantanee: Nu este vorba despre aplicație - #XMPP oferă suveranitatea comunicațiilor dumneavoastră <link> #openstandards #opensource #decentralisation #interoperability #romania

> Paganini, may you try to find a better group to exchange those thing. Gajim can do somthing like this I think, but is Desktop client. --> https://search.jabber.network/rooms/1 Yes, I know that.

> Paganini: > We are...but there's a topic here...and it's not Conversations Ok, sorry.

Licaon_Kter: thats a great help, thanks

Im doing my best chasing after it

emus: maybe we should all go to sleep now, no matter which time zone *This* is the reason we're in this $hit now, because users just wanted a messenger _"without thinking about it and with one click"_ https://nitter.snopyta.org/schiessle/status/1353261891120988160#m Did he even read the post?!?!

I'm happy people reacting 🙂

I know

wurstsalat3000 - do you want me to name you nick or you real name in the contributor list

?

People prefer to like the "very" simple answers, but I guess thats not what we want. And I somehow also think they might include a lot of "I dont wanna pay for it and I dont wanna hear the effort". But if they say that, they might also can just stay where they are. Actually I forgot that point entirely 🤷‍♂️️

How was that saying? _"Every day you are still a silo user you keep your contacts prisoners too"_ You covered that in the post, _"some contacts are lost"_ on messenger change.

Hmm, maybe. But actually I meant the statement, that if people should stay where there are, until they haven't thought thoroughly about the next step ✏

The problem is that if everyone is thinking, but waiting for _"my contact to switch"_ there's nothing happening. Silos got their users by peer pressure...

Yes, agreed

emus: you can use my real name there

ok!
