 emily | I used Matrix via WeeChat for a good while. it was bad. | 03:02:57 |

 Randy Eckenrode | I used a CLI client for a bit (that was written in Go), but it had weird keybindings. | 03:14:53 |

 Winter | In reply to @winter:catgirl.cloud
if I get one more of these invite spam waves i think iām just gonna delete my Matrix account i got another. ngl itās getting tempting | 04:22:16 |
| Winter | are there any directions actually being made towards fixing this? i know the āpolicy serversā are a thing but likeā¦ that wonāt help w/ this | 04:22:40 |
| Winter | can i not just block any and all incoming room invites? | 04:22:51 |
 uep | that would be a client feature, or a homeserver feature | 04:49:36 |
| uep | so the answer is "it depends", and probably not many do | 04:50:01 |
| uep | I do know that one user had a problem, with the #users channel being invite-only, that their homeserver just dropped all invites and they couldn't get it. | 04:50:47 |
| uep | * I do know that one user had a problem, with the #users channel being invite-only, that their homeserver just dropped all invites and they couldn't get in, | 04:50:50 |
| uep | so it does exist, somewhere. | 04:50:58 |

|  TheTaoOfSu joined the room. | 13:21:30 |
| TheTaoOfSu | I've heard this is the right place to ask for channel invites? I'm hoping to get into #macos:nixos.org | 13:22:08 |
 @emma:rory.gay | https://cgit.rory.gay/matrix/tools/MatrixAntiDmSpam.git/about/ | 13:24:05 |
| @emma:rory.gay | it can achieve blocking all incomming invites if you just create a user policy matching @*:* | 13:25:31 |
| emily | I think it sent. not sure if I have permissions | 13:32:37 |
| emily | otherwise Randy Eckenrode can definitely do it | 13:32:42 |
| emily | ah, looks like it went through | 13:32:50 |
| TheTaoOfSu | Go it, thanks! | 13:33:02 |
 teutat3s | If a policy room id (matrix ban list) is added to some module like Mjolnir's Synapse module or synapse-http-antispam, that should make the homeserver that uses the module block the invites. | 15:37:39 |
