I was wondering if the XMPP standard defines support for temporary/disappearing messages, and apparently it does via XEP-0079. But Prosody, which is the server I run, doesn’t support it. Anyone know why this is, or if it’s on the roadmap?

    Well as I said, impossible to do. Anyone could just run a client that ignores these suggestions (as most clients probably will given the obscurity of that XEP).

    Edit: also what you ask for isn’t the purpose of that XEP:

    • Reliable data transport – the sender requires notification (positive and/or negative) of message delivery.
    • Time-sensitive messages – the message is valid only until a certain date and time.
    • Transient messages – the message should not be stored offline for later delivery.
