emily | (and also I assume that in practice there's going to be one policy server on matrix.org, because how many orgs are going to have the resources to negotiate access to the illegal content hash databases or staff people to do moderation work? so it's going to have a major centralizing effect on moderation policy) | 07:12:33 |
emily | (…and also introduce a matrix.org SPOF on other homeservers 🙃) | 07:12:54 |
@leira:matrix.org | Hi~ Can I get an invitation to the new NixOS room? | 07:13:19 |
@leira:matrix.org | Thanks! | 07:14:17 |
| @leira:matrix.org left the room. | 07:15:35 |
@raboof:matrix.org | if that'd exist we could at least realistically tell affected users "talk to your homeserver admin" instead of "uh yeah that's just how Matrix is rn", right? that seems like an improvement. (but indeed AFAICT a simple user reporting system would be both more useful and an order of magnitude easier to implement? am I missing something) | 07:17:34 |
@raboof:matrix.org | oh policy servers are at the 'room level'? then that's nice but doesn't help against invite spam at all? | 07:20:11 |
BeatLink | I think the only way to fix it is to implement better permission systems. Like for example, discord allows you to set who can create invite links, how long they are valid for and so on | 07:21:32 |
BeatLink | Right now, anyone in a room can invite anyone | 07:21:41 |
emily | that's not our issue at all | 07:25:10 |
