Is there a use case with bots and xmpp?
No bots in XMPP, please.
If that is true, I haven't noticed anything yet.
Ok. Same here, as of now (small group of people). I haven't noticed any spam even if I have my XMPP address public. In pure text that is, but still.
What do you mean with bots in this context?
I have seen telegram and Whatsapp bots that vänt control various selfhosted apps or just report from them. I just wondered if that was a thing on xmpp too.
The reverse, i.e. getting outage notifications and so on via xmpp is quite common.
I can't really think of any usecase to control self-hosted apps from a messenger, but sure, technically you could write such a bot quite easily.
Ah okay, notifications would be nice.
I was thinking about n8n integrations for example
