Like, saying to your mate down the pub "Oh you should get on Jabber" versus "You should get on ecks em pee pee"
One of these words sounds like a thing for talking about whatever with your mates, the other sounds like a thing for bollocking around with config files so you can talk to other people who bollock around with config files about bollocking around with config files

๐ง As we all know, early intervention is important. Schools are overwhelmingly teaching children to use proprietary software, which in addition to being against the spirit of liberation in computing, can be considered basically equivalent to a competition-stifling government handout to already-rich corporations, ensuring their customer base into the next generation.
๐ง Unfortunately I myself have been banned from the premises but if anybody else wants to bring up ANUS to their local school board at the next meeting,

๐ด Good, so...
๐ฆ Daddy Fingers
๐ด No
๐ฆ ...BIG Daddy Fingers

#Conversations_im is doing pretty extensive DNS caching. If you set the TTL of your DNS records relatively high (86400 seconds for example) Conversations can avoid some round trips during connect. Another round trip can be avoided if you prioritize the _xmpps-client SRV entry. This can significantly improve the performance in rough networking environments.
In good networks we can establish a full connection in under 500ms.
