Methods of being invisible on Jabber
Gabble supports:
- Google Talk's shared status extension;
- XEP-0186: Invisible Command;
- becoming invisible using privacy lists;
- the pre-XMPP
extension. This should mean, in practice, that Gabble supports being invisible on any Jabber server where it's possible to be invisible. (This, notably, does not include Facebook.)
