This is an example in profanity.

jonasโ
oh wow, there is still one client which uses/shows priority? ;)
-
edhelas
Movim still store it in the db :D

The priority thing should die, it was a mechanism to tell the server to which client to route messages in a time where servers did not route messages to all clients
-
lovetox
now that this is fixed its useless complexity

I have that prosody module which sets all priorities to 0.
-
mdosch
My users don't know and don't care about priority.
-
lovetox
and what purpose does this have?
-
mdosch
Prevent that somehow a client gets accidentally set a low priority and doesn't get messages. Not really sure why I enabled it in the first place. But if you make sure all prios are 0 this is an eliminated error source. ๐

detach 'receive messages' from 'is available' in Routing 2.0?

Zash
We're half-way there, depending on just what happens if you enable Carbons while unavailable

Ah. FWIW, I keep mumbling that <show/> and particularly <status/> ought to live in PEP these days. (Though <show/> has uses in a per-device sense).

mdosch, There's a handful of use-cases for negative priority. mind.

mdosch
What are negitive priorities used for?✎ -
Zash
What do they even do if you also have Carbons enabled?

mdosch
What are negative priorities used for? ✏

Zash
mdosch, in the olden days, it made you appear online but you did not receive messages
-
mdosch
What's the use case?
-
Zash
Lost in the mists of time

Write-only bots?

mdosch: use-cases such as special-purpose (non-IM) clients connected to your account which should be discoverable but not swallow your messages
-
MattJ
Games, for example
-
Zash
If you were careful, you could get your messages routed only to the device you were at. So like, if you leave work and set negative priority, then go online when you get home, any messages sent while you were traveling would be received there, instead of show up at work where you would not see them until the next day.
