Yeah, I agree. But let's say I open a convo with you, and I don't have MP! installed: nothing will be sent along with my name. So it's rather useless that you send the information I won't parse in any way. If I had sent this information, and you don't have MP! nothing would happen, and I would not know whether you haven't MP! installed or you simply disabled the feature.
If we both had MP! (just like we do
) And I opened a convo with you, I'd send the data and you would send your data, since you know my client can parse it.
I understand it's simple formality, but that would decrease load in bot servers, for example.
The other thing I meant with the sunglasses is to not allow people with this option disabled to see if others have Plus, but I think that would be a little dodgy, as the client should decide, although knowing who uses Plus, whether to show "X has MP!" or not.
To manage who does and who doesn't see that you use3 MP is useful, but its kinda overkill, after all, I think.
Hope Patchou finds this useful and understands there's no privacy violation
