Suggestion - Adding @disr.it and @getgoogleoff.me to XMPP (scribe.disroot.org)

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:

  1. as alias - Using same roster but possibility to connect/be contacted with two additional addresses
  2. 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 )

People are saying aliasses because they will not be logged on each account so they will not see the mess like three chats for the same conversation.

Make it separated hosts so will use it who wants to. Not a big deal for people that will just use disroot.org but a life changer if someone wants to use getgoogleoff.me or disr.it for another purpose and keep chats separated.

I tend to agree. Alias on XMPP does not bring much in terms of features while being able to seperate use axes with essentially seperate accounts does look appealing indeed.
