Rss works quite ok for me. Feedly is nice.

moparisthebest: the xmpp record (not xmpps) mentioned here that points to 443 only works when using sslh not the ngnix setup. That should be mentioned. https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Tech_pages/XEP-0368#DNS_setup

Ah yea that's right

Is there a standard(s mail) about the registration redirection URL used by Conversations?

Ge0rG: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0077.html#redirect ?

Zash: awesome!

Ge0rG: Having messages in MAM that document a move does seem very sensible. I just remembered that Mercurial records moved files with some metadata in the first entry of the new file log.

Zash: https://op-co.de/tmp/xep-0283.html#message

Ge0rG: Yes, I'm saying that's good and that other people did something similar, so it can't be a completely crazy thing to do.

Zash: except that most implementations won't keep the record longer than 14 days or so

Ge0rG: Is that a big problem?

Zash: I don't know

I guess we need MattJs device tracking stuff to know for sure

Your less often used client will just see that a contact vanished, without the link to the new contact

Do normal people do that?

For vacation maybe?

Some sort of roster metadata maybe

People don't switch accounts all that often, but is this because it's currently somewhat tricky or because .. reasons?

Stable identifiers are generally good

It's not "somewhat tricky", it's a huge effort and nuisance to your contacts
