so in MIX, is there a way for a *client* to opt out of receiving MIX messages (as opposed for an account to opt out of that)?

or rather, have receiving messages from a MIX being opt-in even

thinking of my phone where I currently do not join all of my MUCs for sanity and power conservation purposes

the former (sanity) could be achieved with local filtering, but it certainly won't be good for the battery to receive the most recent flamewar in $irc or $muc or $mix in real time.

Something like https://modules.prosody.im/mod_csi_muc_priorities.html for mix, would that be possible? Best would be, if there could be a behavior (low priority) of open channels by default..

Menel, well, that'd still send pointless bytes across the wire eventually, and potentially many of them

which would then be discarded by the receiving device

this line of thought is pushing me toward thinking that a more hybrid approach where MUC join persistence is handled server side (similar to how biboumi implements persistence for IRC), but clients stay with the old-fashioned MUC protocol.

Jeah. That's true. But still more battery friendly

slightly

jonas’: mod_muc_proxy?

possibly

I've heard that joining a room from a bare JID is not explicitly forbidden! 😜

If it works, it's allowed

Well, somebody needs to check all the widely used MUC implementations, open issue reports and wait five years.

What client would you recommend on Windows? For non-tech users

marc: Dino generally aims to be maximally simple, unlike Gajim, but is a tiny bit rough around the edges right now. Still I'd recommend it over Gajim in this case. Builds for windows aren't official yet though

See LAGonauta at github

mjk: thanks, yes without an easy way to be installed Dino is out 😪

marc: if _is_ easy, ofc if you don't consider downloading and running an unsigned installer exe to be hard. xD

mjk, I did not even find an installier on the web page

Yes, as I said, it's not officially maintained for now

There is interest in publishing in windows app store eventually tho

For now, https://github.com/LAGonauta/dino/releases is the easiest

uwpx is another windows client, available in the ms windows app store (it is free)

Ah, right. Although, last I heard, it's deep in beta testing

And probably doesn't do e2ee yet

Yeah, that's not an option

Don't get me wrong, Gajim is pretty solid, but the UI, as of 1.3, is still pretty busy. Look forward to 1.4! ✏

mjk, omemo support seems to be 'experimental'.

oh no support foer omemo in MUCs, yeah that's not an optionen after all
