Hopefully should be easy.

I publishing this comment here to have registered as we go forward with this.

We need to check how to get the invisible mode working with the XMPP Server, maybe using another service like a mirror, I don't know if we can use XMPP and IRC together, because IRC supports invisible mode.

We should skip this issue for now because the invisible mode is not standardized right now in the XMPP protocol or at least they don't have a final solution that can be implemented by the most used IM clients.

The protocol have some specifications for the invisible presence like:

• DEPRECATED XEP-0018: Invisible Presence
• DEPRECATED XEP-0186: Invisible Command
• DEPRECATED XEP-0016: Privacy Lists
• DRAFT XEP-0191: Blocking Command the current version is 1.3 with date 2015-03-12.

Anyway, in our case Pidgin don't support invisible mode using a XMPP server (like prosody or ejabberd) and that makes it more difficult for us to reproduce this issue.

For that reason we should close this issue at least until Pidgin supports invisible mode for XMPP.

• XMPP Extensions (XEPs) supported in Prosody
