#Conversations_im has the ability to fetch outage status information from an independent server and display that in case the regular #XMPP server can not be reached.
This is powered by XEP-0455 (xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0455.h…).
TLDR: Server gives client a URL to a JSON file during normal connects, client will hold on to that URL and fetch the JSON file in case server is unreachable.

This document defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables server administrators to communicate issues with the server to all users in a semantic manner.Mathieu Pasquet

in reply to Daniel Gultsch • • •oh I see that in-band status has been removed from the spec. Arf I did an implementation in Libervia Pubsub to support it.
@mathieui why was it removed? I find it useful.
