ive never used discourse before but i dont see what matrix is lacking This is getting a bit off topic, but one of the best features of discourse moderation is trust-levels other things are being able to move messages to other threads (which zulip also supports), having slow mode, lot's of auto-moderation based on user flags (e.g. hiding posts when enough people flagged them, automatically put slow mode on topics/lock them if many posts in a thread got flagged), being able to hide threads so only participants can see them, reporting users (currently if you report a user the home-server admins get the report and there is no way to say pls. report this to space admins/mods), and lot's more. Matrix is simply lacking lot's of features you would want for large communities. Don't get me wrong, I want matrix to be a thing and I think it's awesome that matrix gets used by public institutes and governments but it still has lots of issues. | 22:50:50 |
 @emma:rory.gay | yeah fwiw most of those things i think are unsolvable in a federated context, anyways would recommend moving to that room or something more general like #general:conduit.rory.gay | 22:52:07 |

this is likely the same reason for the deflecting tone; people are simply exhausted yeah, sorry for my harsh tone. I just don't have much energy left, nix/nixos/nixpkgs basically became 90% of my spare time and the other 10% are mostly doing things to stay a functional human being. | 22:52:32 |

I believe the decision was the correct one, so I'm not going to play devil's advocate or concern-troll or anything. But us being on a strict schedule is not a reason I want to see being used throughout the project while a small group with the resources to take time off/live in the correct timezone do all the decisionmaking. I don't really think this will be an issue, but I find it important to highlight either way based on the deflecting tone in your reply to this concern being raised That's very fair, and I also wish some decisions had been better communicated and had more time for discussions but the chat platform really isn't a important decision here, we just have to get something working that makes sense for the usecase and is as accessible as possible. Like I'd also have wanted to give some input to the CoC document for governance discussions, but basically didn't have time to do so between work, my finals, (some) sleep, etc... | 23:00:50 |

| hexa | I'm fully aware, that federated systems make these things so much harder, especially if you're not considering during the initial design phase. | 23:10:44 |

| felschr | infinisil Not exactly sure why, but I didn't get an email about this, even though I am in the @NixOS/nixpkgs-maintainers team.
https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/143#issuecomment-2094152537
Maybe because I was never active in NixOS/foundation before?

| hexa | can we get any foundation member on libera to reclaim the #nixos namespace, so it can be moderated by those willing to do it? | 15:14:24 |
