Are you suggesting xmpp can't do that? XD

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. Asynchronous communication is dependent on both users servers software and config. And that's exactly why XMPP is disused.

I'm sure there's an option you can disable in server software to disable message storage. Why stop at this?

XMPP can't federate because there's an option for disabling that too! 😧

Its the other way around. Asynchronous communication was a feature added later in some software. By default it didn't have it

I'm saying it'd a deal breaker if all users dont have asynchronous communication.

You're technically correct but that was two decades ago. Novadays virtually every featured server passes the Conversations compliance test which continuously checks if all modern features are enabled.
