XSF Discussion - 2020-10-31

Hello everyone, this month Newsletter release we will have a shorter review phase (Release by Thu, 5th). So the ones who haven't done their contribution yet consider doing it this weekend. We also are happy haveing review readers to ensure the quality and getting things good in the best possible outcome! The open pull request is here: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/813 📰️☕️

is there some folks around here that already played with https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/ephemeral-messages.html ?

> Ensure that legacy XMPP clients that do not respect timer values specified in a message do not display such messages (and, hopefully, do not store their contents). How is this supposed to work? 'You received an ephemeral message but your client is not allowed to display it'?

Inspector Gadget messages! 💣
