 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:  @4638e645 @surk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠... @6a72e15a this is the main problem with XMPP. Every client implements a different subset of features that XMPP provides, but no client implements them all. There is no reference XMPP client with a complete feature set.

:akkowhy: Hey, I want feature A. What XMPP client do I use?
:comfygeek: Client X has that!
:akkowhat: cool! I also want feature B. Does client X support it?
:comfygeek: nope, you need client Y for that.
:akkowtf2: But I want both of those features!
:comfygeek: lol get fucked! XMPP doesn't work this way!
:akkoeew2: meh.. I'll just use Telegram or whatever then.
:comfyrage: NOOOOO YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW COOL XMPP IS
