    Hi, question: what's the status of deleting messages? I see that https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0424.html proposes message retraction, but it's on proposed/last-call status, and I don't see it listed as supported in, say, Prosody for example

  2. mizah

    Since retractions are message payloads, will those just be forwarded?

  3. Zash

    Correct, forwarded like any other message. No explicit support for that is needed.

  4. mizah

    Yeehaw!

  5. mizah

    Ok, implemetation it is!

  6. Zash

    The server could also replace the message in the archive with a tombstone, so that a client that was offline at the time does not get the original.

  7. mizah

    Well yes, but at least it'd be implementing the XEP

  8. mizah

    I was worried that things would break or just plain not work if I tried to do message retraction

  9. mizah

    But at least if I'm talking to a client that implements it it should work?

  10. Zash

    That's the idea.
