I think I would prefer xaddr over xid, because it's more of an address than an ID (of course, every address shares the same semantic as an ID)

I'll stay with JID for this century.

xid sounds cooler 🤷

There's room for having multiple names for different things that are all called jid currently

Yeah, whenever I can I actually don't use jid

(nor xid nor xaddr)

Too generic

having multiple names for the same thing is a recipe for confusion. I think that is why jid will be around for a while (probably the whole century, as debacle oracled)

> lovetox, Jappix and Movim both went for xid in their code IIRC, but I find it a bit weird since so much documentation is about JID. Doubts (x) ↺

Which markdown flavor are you using? I'm not sure I understand

Movimdown

But not Movim :p

I was wrong there.

But it makes searching the code much worse than if the normal accepted term was used.

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would replace it

It's called what it's called

Like Jabber :-)

What is Jabber ? 🤔

Nobody can be told what Jabber is, you have to see it for yourself

Jabber is some really old crappy software owned and sold by Cisco right?

Wow today I learned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet#Jabber
