XSF Discussion - 2018-05-19

what to do about XSF applicants with @gmail.com JIDs?

I’d like to ask them something about their application…

yeah, that remote-server-not-founds

jonasw: Send an email asking for new JID?

jonasw: does it really not-found or is it merely lack of TLS?

dunno

I didn’t investigate and went only b y what pidgin told me

pidgin is only the messenger here.

Don't shoot the messenger

I'm sure we can make one exception

Ge0rG: not found, Gmail shut off federation months ago

moparisthebest, evidence?

It doesn't work?

ITYM GTalk

Is there a difference?

Indeed, looks like connection refused

They threw not-authorized or something in response to Dialback a while before that

Yeah, and then after that I heard someone say it worked again :)

But now looks like it's gone, or they switched to IP whitelisting

I think that was just random uneven distribution due to clustering.

Or A/B testing maybe

Who knows how Google does things
