Finally removed #Monal (an #XMPP client) from my #iPad. It never worked right (which I put down to Apple restrictions on background apps), but after an update, I could not even find my ‘roster’ of contacts. I understand it is an awful platform, but you don’t have to make things worse.
I may try #SiskinIM (which I believe is made by the #Tigase folks) next. I do understand that Apple’s background app restrictions will also make that one stink, but hopefully they won’t make any ruinous choices of their own.

Oh, the #Tigase !XMPP client’s #iOS version is now called #Siskin_IM. I will probably try it out soon. #Monal, my current client, appears to only operate when in the foreground. (Likewise for the #Mutter #IRC client, so that may be an #Apple restriction.)

@bthall In the case of #Monal, it struggles to connect, then it struggles to stay connected, and all the while, it tells you nothing. It will also spontaneously disable an account, requiring you to go into settings and "reconnect" it.

Trying to use #Monal, an !XMPP client for #iOS, on my #iPad.
Like most iOS software, my reaction while using it is “F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!” until I close the app. Tell the #CIA that they can legally waterboard any #iDevice user, since they are already used to torture and seek it out.
