This chat module is based on the XMPP protocol, also known as Jabber.It is therefore possible to connect to the chats using [XMPP client software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP#Clients).This can for example be useful to facilitate moderation operations.
You can use emojis in the chat using ":shortname:". The short name can start and/or end by a colon (:), and only contain alphanumerical characters, underscores and hyphens. It is strongly recommended to start them by a colon, so that users can use autocompletion (by typing ":" then press TAB).
