XMPP Service Operators - 2020-09-11

Yes I have pep

What is the usecase for shared rosters?

Is there anything that uses that?

tom: I don't appreciate that you decided to use a good friend of ours as a flying monkey to announce a bad-faith "unban" to me.

Ellenor Malik: If you want to talk about it I am available for direct message. I don't know if your getting my replies, but I never did anything in bad faith to you

You were unbanned a long time ago. But if you do want to talk about this, there's no reason to do it in 'here' in the ops chat

tom, disabling mod_pep will break most modern features of XMPP, and it has nothing to do with rosters

It's not an alternative to mod_vcard (though it is true that we are moving vcards to PEP storage)

The conversion module breaks vcard functionality on prosody

There are a bunch of conversion modules I think, I'm not sure of the state/quality of them

The official path is to swap mod_vcard for mod_vcard_legacy

But most/all clients don't care right now, so there isn't much point in rushing to do that (as an operator)

Hmm alright. I try that every few months and end up having to restore from backup

It seems like my client doesn't support pep yet, and the 2 way conversion isn't working

Does mod_vcard_legacy also work on mucs?

I've applied the vcard module to mucs as well, so mucs can have icons
