🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, you found the man(1) page for the Profanity XMPP client 😌 and this one is entirely about the /privacy command — literally the /privacy command, that's the whole name, no notes. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

/privacy is your little control room for privacy settings. that's the vibe. 🔒✨

oh and also — while you're here — go check out these two settings over in /account too, they're lowkey part of the same energy:

  • clientid — sets the client identification name
  • session_alarm — configures an alarm when more clients log in

like, /privacy is not doing all that alone, iykyk. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/privacy logging on|redact|off

/privacy os on|off

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • logging on|redact|off — switches chat logging. at all. this also disables logging in the internally used SQL database, so your messages will not be saved anywhere locally. the way that it's thorough… 😭
⚠️ okay queen be careful — this "no logs ever" thing might have unintended consequences, like not being able to decrypt OMEMO encrypted messages you receive later via MAM. use with caution, fr fr. 💀
  • os on|off — chooses whether to include the OS name if a user asks for software information (XEP-0092). that's it, that's the toggle. 🖥️🌸

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

/privacy logging off
/privacy os off

and that's the whole page, bestie 🦋 version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08 — go forth and protect your peace 💜🎀
