I am not going to lose sleep over XMPP having less than ideal support on a platform that is hardly used by the realistic target group of XMPP. And reactions and emojis work fine on Android and other platforms 🤷 Afaik emoji reactions are also going to be supported by Monal soon, but then there will be for sure some other thing you come up with why XMPP can't ever work 🤦

Plus, I think you have a totally false problem analysis if you think the less than ideal iOS support it the thing why XMPP isn't as popular as Signal for example.

I never said it was the thing, and you are creating a strawman by implying that I'm expecting it be "as popular as Signal".

What I am saying, plain and simple, is "XMPP might be technically superior in every possible aspect, but this means absolutely jack shit if most if not all of my circles have at 10/20/30% people who will not use it because the client is so feature poor."
