Did you know I am a very important person in xmpp

Yes, you are, in Offtopic, to us

o i c now this isn't the offtopic chat

hello

hi, what's up?

I want to see if there's anything I can talk about.

Of course! This chatroom is reserved for discussions between and about XMPP server operators though.

Where is this?

There are plenty of chat rooms available that you can use for general chit-chat!

The search engine at https://search.jabber.network/ can be used to search rooms that are of interest to you!

ok bye

thank you so much

you're welcome

……

Why do so many people who are no operators recently show up here?

🤔

The title attracts them

Because this room is showed in S.J.N, first page, and the default room discovery method of Conversations. ✏

Why? Isn't that sorted by user count? Aren't more rooms fuller?

Just regard them as tourists.

> Why do so many people who are no operators recently show up here? A simpler answer: because it is allowed.

Licaon_Kter, even so operators@ makes first page.

The term “No-Affiliation” in the Chinese XMPP manual is called as “Tourist”; the term “Visitor” is called as “Audience”.

You'd think most get lost in other rooms :)

Some new users like to travel around. They are not real important roles to the XMPP operators community :)

What does “operator” exactly mean? It includes developers, server operators, and?

it does not include developers.

server operators only.

> It is a place primarily for operators of federated XMPP services, to have civil and low-bar discourse and resolution of interoperability issues. In addition to that primary purpose, it is also a place for the wider XMPP community (including end-users and operators of non-federated servers) to get in touch with operators to resolve issues, report abuse (see below for important notes on that!) or any other service related topic.

Then I am not an operator either. :|

We know, and normaly (and in good times there was a bot) only operators a allowed to talk

I think there is an easy method to stop bother from tourists: Make room moderated, and let all new operators change their nickname to their server address.

Then you can check and grant a Member affiliation.

☭Mike Yellow, we got that automated already

the bot doing that is offline right now though

(and it works without setting your nickname to the domain, which provides some privacy)

We don't need server a nic, your JIF should be discoverable as admincontact

s/JIF/JID

Oh, yes.

> server operators only. Some of us are simple observers. ↺

There's no rule against that.

In fact, https://logs.xmpp.org enables anyone to observe.

I surmise there are closed private groups for selected operators.

E.g. xmppbl discussion.

btw, toofast.vip is online again

on a cheap vps

no plans for making it fancy, at least not for a while
