Sam on Mastodon (linked post) grumbles about the profanity filters on jmp.chat (presumably from upstream providers) and getting messages rejected. I’ve experienced the same, including having my account blocked if I mistakenly send it twice.
When I inquired, support said they were working on improved “routes” (upstream providers) and that I would be waitlisted for the beta of the new routes. That was months ago and I’ve heard nothing since.
Has anyone gotten into the beta program, and does it improve the situation? Because sometimes you just don’t have two fucks to give.
I might need to switch my phone provider. As much as I’ve loved having all my messages delivered via #XMPP, jmp.chat’s upstream providers decency filter is killing me. I constantly get text messages rejected for using swear words. If you ask they insist that all phone providers do this, but if I copy the same message over to my other provider it sends fine.
Are there any other good VoIP providers (not necessarily with XMPP compatibility, but that would be great) that aren’t puritanical?
Yes if you want to switch to one of the other routes please follow up with support and they can move you in the next batch
Also per the other post, note we’ve never claimed “all providers do this” when it comes to the profanity filters. All providers have some filters and those filters have all got tighter over the past year, but only one provider we’re aware of (which happens to be our default, but because of this no longer only, provider) is censoring profanity.
