Wire – Modern Communications Network

Re:Wire – Modern Communications Network by tazjin on Wednesday December 03, 2014 @05:11AM (#8692851)

I have:

* Telegram, with all my contacts (including several rather large group chats) * SMS, for telling new contacts to get Telegram

I don't mourn XMPP, it wasn't very nice and especially not very mobile friendly.

Well, that doesn't work either - since it requires other people to switch, or me to use yet another messaging app.

Besides, I don't trust the Telegram guys with their faux security claims.

Not very mobile friendly .. in what way?

The limitations I know of are 'fixed' with decent/recent clients (Stream Management comes to mind). Care to elaborate?

Poor offline messaging support. As a consequence practically, poor battery life management.

That's not exactly specific, unfortunately.

What's poor about it? I'm genuinely interested - not to convince you that you're wrong but to check if I missed a gotcha in my setup here. So far .. I don't see an issue. I could complain about missing features/XEPs that I'd love to have and cannot right now, but .. chatting should work just fine.

That said, you DO want Stream Management.

Is that an inherent problem in XMPP, though? Something wrong with XEP-0013?
