<louis> hello
[21:56:30]
<wgreenhouse> louis: 👋
[21:56:57]
<louis> I've never really used xmpp, having some trouble with it tbh
[21:57:23]
<wgreenhouse> what kind of trouble?
[21:58:21]
<louis> Umm, I'm using psi+ and gajim concurrently on windows
[21:58:47]
<louis> I like psi more, it's just very strange
[21:59:21]
<louis> I signed up under the calyx institute's domain awhile ago and its like nothing's working
[21:59:45]
<louis> So I just made this
[22:00:04]
<wgreenhouse> louis: oh yeah, calyx's server is totally broken
[22:00:11]
<wgreenhouse> it enforces OTR
[22:00:17]
<wgreenhouse> which nobody uses
[22:00:21]
<louis> ah, which homeserver would you recommend?
[22:00:28]
<wgreenhouse> any but that one
[22:00:52]
<louis> lol, it's a shame too. I heard tell of them giving the FBI a hard time once
[22:02:04]
<wgreenhouse> I think on their site they even describe their xmpp service as experimental and not usable. they mean it :)
[22:02:49]
<wgreenhouse> another misfeature to avoid is servers that block 1:1 messages from strangers
[22:03:12]
<louis> ah, I didn't know about any of that
[22:03:16]
<wgreenhouse> sounds like a good idea, but basically breaks the ability to start talking to someone
[22:03:56]
<louis> Yea its a weird thing to do.
