We were thinking about it some time ago, and now that a user came up with a proposal as well we thought why not. The idea is to add possibility to use username@disr.it along side your username@disroot.org JID for XMPP (just like email). We could implement it in two ways:
- as alias - Using same roster but possibility to connect/be contacted with two additional addresses
- as new account - Seperate account meaning clean roster, avatar etc. just using same credentials to login
Which one would you prefer?
(for reference original user’s suggestion - https://git.disroot.org/Disroot/Disroot-Project/issues/1212 )
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.
