singpolyma: am I remembering right that Cheogram Android has a feature to attempt to rejoin MUCs where we briefly lost touch with the MUC server? if yes what is that down/reconnect algorithm like?

It's the normal self ping system. It pings very infrequently like 10 or 15 minutes to not touch battery too much, preferring to ping when radio is already active if possible.

thanks

Does any XMPP client have a feature to mute users in MUCs?

For Linux and Android

Sorry if off-topic

Cheogram on Android and Gajim 2.2 on Linux

Cheogram judders

UI

Is there a protocol for syncing mutes between devices that any client supports?

Not in a muc no

> Is there a protocol for syncing mutes between devices that any client supports? blocklist exists, still ↺

not very ergonomic, clients tend not to sugar it

but it exists

Only applies to 1:1

It applies to MUC too if you're ok to block by nickname

Apparently Gajim only allows you to mute people if you're a moderator

I want to mute people in rooms I'm not a moderator in

That's a different kind of mute

I would call the other kind a *ban* not a "mute"

I've never heard anyone call it a mute

No a ban is yet another different thing

Oh

Ban means you cannot join. Mute means you cannot talk. Local mute means you cannot see what they say

Three different things

What Cheogram does is what I'd call "ignore" not "mute"

> Only applies to 1:1 blocklist works fine for muc nicks. ive been using it for ages. ↺

such a misunderstood feature

by users and client devs alike

hyol: Cheogram's clientside mute is like an IRC /ignore

there's no standard XEP for this yet so no syncing

though I guess any client could stuff the list into a PEP node
