Merry Christmas to all

Hi everyone. I'm currently trying to upgrade the XEP-0277. I just saw the section https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html#metadata and was wondering if it could be removed.

I personally never implemencted this <item id='0'/>, also the metadata contained in this item can easily be set in the Pubsub node metadata

goffi ^

I'm wondering if I can simply remove it

I don't know what to say

Hey kids, wanna buy some read receipts?

I did some stats on my own message archives and you wouldn't believe how many read receipts there were.

How many?

Lots.

They worth a lot now

xD

John I heard some XMPP servers only makes the first 6 months free 👀

but that's another conversation to have

edhelas: XMPP had several millions of users from my country about 10 years ago, the server admins took advantage of it and made a lot of money, you can have your account for free only because they want more users where users can always find someone to chat with MUS's are paid, its moderators pay for it monthly and its price varies according to the number of participants, they also pay to promote their MUC where users will receive a message from the server on login or if they are online or both, and different price for each They also disabled the connection with public servers to keep their users while many others started to run servers but for the same reason, making money

Did you just tell the history of Google talk
