  • For me, blocking is one of the most important features any social app (chats, social media, etc) should have. I tried using Jabber to block my friend and had them message me from Xabber (from which I was entirely unable to block anyone), and their messages came through just fine. Months before that test, I had tried to test blocking someone else, but was unable to unblock them, even though all my clients said they weren’t blocked. I simply remained unable to message them, and the client kept telling me I had blocked their JID.

    Could this have been an issue with the server I was using?


  • I wish I could like XMPP, I really do, but no client I have used has a block function properly implemented, as in, you can’t unblock people you have blocked, and I tested it with a friend a few weeks ago and found that clients that don’t properly implement a block function (as in, not even letting you block anyone) can easily message someone who has blocked them from another client. This is an immediate No for a chat protocol in my opinion
