RE: Hi guys, how to know who blocks our nicks ? How to chat with people who blocks us
The protocol is the way two different things communicate with eachother, so they know what to do.
A protocol is like a langauge. We speak English here, that's the protocol. If I started to change some words in that language, you wouldn't understand me anymore.
You can't change the protocol, you can only change (parts of) the software that is using the protocol. (eg: I can't change the English language, but you and me could change/learn the new code so we understand eachother again; but still others wouldn't).
If a protocol doesn't allow something, you can't change/force it otherwise. If the protocol doesn't allow people to know if they are blocked when you've ticked the privacy option "only allow people on my allow list to see my status", you can't force it into still allowing it; You could change the software all you want, you can't change the protocol it uses to communicate.
