mod_conversejs: Serve base app at / This makes things slightly less awkward for the browser to figure out which URLs belong to a PWA. The app's "start URL" was previously without the '/' and therefore was not considered within the scope of the PWA. Now the canonical app URL will always have a '/'. Prosody/mod_http should take care of redirecting existing links without the trailing / to the new URL. If you have an installation at https://prosody/conversejs then it is now at https://prosody/conversejs/ (the first URL will now redirect to the second URL if you use it). The alternative would be to make the PWA scope include the parent, i.e. the whole of https://prosody/ in this case. This might get messy if other PWAs are provided by the same site or Prosody installation, however.

::: {.alert .alert-warning}
This module is deprecated as it depends on the deprecated
[mod_privacy_lists], use the core module
[mod_blocklist][doc:modules:mod_blocklist] instead.

Introduction
============

Privacy lists are a widely implemented protocol for instructing your
server on blocking communications with selected users and services.

However experience has shown that the power and flexibility of the
rule-based system that privacy lists allow is very often much more
complex than the user needs, and that in most cases a simple block on
all communications to or from a list of specified JIDs would suffice.

Such a protocol would also allow much simpler user interface design than
the current attempts at full privacy list interfaces.

Details
=======

Simple Communications Blocking was developed to solve the above issues,
and allows the client to manage a simple list of blocked JIDs. This
plugin implements support for that protocol in Prosody, however the
actual blocking is still managed by mod\_privacy, so it is **required**
for that plugin to be loaded (this may change in future).

An XEP-0191 implementation without dependency on mod\_privacy is
available in Prosody 0.10 as [mod\_blocklist][doc:modules:mod_blocklist].

Configuration
=============

Simply ensure that [mod_privacy_lists] and mod_blocking are loaded in
your modules_enabled list:

        modules_enabled = {
                        -- ...
                        "privacy_lists",
                        "blocking",
                        -- ...
