 emily | they have posted about it on the matrix.org blog | 07:09:09 |
| emily | they are very aware of the problem | 07:09:12 |
| emily | unclear if they are doing anything except flailing | 07:09:16 |
 K900 | Their solution seems to be policy servers | 07:09:41 |
| emily | that's like, a pretty major architectural/engineering project right? | 07:10:01 |
| emily | a thing Matrix famously has a track record for completing on time and without issues? | 07:10:16 |
| K900 | Yes and I'm not even convinced it's a good idea | 07:10:17 |
| emily | "In my opinion, the most interesting part to talk about above is MSC4284: Policy Servers. If you haven't already, read the matrix.org blog post on Introducing Policy Servers. In short, they're servers on the internet where you can send events to and have them be checked for spam/illegal imagery/etc. before allowing the event to be sent down to your users. You can think of them like a SpamChecker Synapse module, but homeserver implementation agnostic." | 07:10:41 |
| emily | right. | 07:10:43 |
