I like the idea of having a shorter alias from my account so I can tell people another way 'disr.it'. But after reading others opinions and explanations, seems to be more usefull with a different roster, cause I could cut or disconnect that account without leaving xmpp.
And so, managing different kind of chat or contacta separatedly, knowing that you could do that in the same app.
What is your reasoning behind it? Cause I noticed on XMPP when talking about it in the hangout, people were afraid others would take the username. But that's not the case. Your username would be basically able to login with different domains so there is no concern of username snatched.
Maybe they thinked about xmpp open to registration like standalone. Like the scribe that everyone can sign-up and "take" the username from people at disroot.
The xmpp addresses will be for your account @disroot only so noone can register your username at getgoogleoff.me or disr.it to take it for xmpp like people can "take" your user at git scribe and nexcloud i guess on disroot
I even registred at scribe some hours ago so no one takes hate from me lol
People are saying aliasses because they will not be logged on each account so they will not see the mess like three chats for the same conversation.
Make it separated hosts so will use it who wants to. Not a big deal for people that will just use disroot.org but a life changer if someone wants to use getgoogleoff.me or disr.it for another purpose and keep chats separated.
I tend to agree. Alias on XMPP does not bring much in terms of features while being able to seperate use axes with essentially seperate accounts does look appealing indeed.
Alias sounds fine to me.
Alias. 👍
I prefer alias ö
