Because Fractal gave me this:

| budric | hi, could I get an invite to the nix/nixos help channel please? I just get invite error, I'm not sure what "knock feature" is in matrix | 22:49:16 |
| K900 | Done | 22:49:45 |

| undltd | hi; requesting an invite to #users:nixos.org (would be nice if there was some info on how to join; found this room by searching discourse). | 07:14:51 |
| K900 | The room supports knocking, technically | 07:16:32 |
| K900 | But not all clients do | 07:16:39 |
| undltd | It's very confusing (for someone with a client that doesn't support it at least - I'm on Cinny), also the message on the space having been upgraded adds to that. | 07:18:59 |
| K900 | Well the hope is that we'll be able to disable this soon | 07:19:37 |
| K900 | But the spam attacks keep coming | 07:19:43 |
| K900 | And Matrix moderation tools are ... not great | 07:19:54 |
 @palasso:matrix.org | It appears other rooms of other distros also had to result into similar measures (judging by the drop of users in their rooms) | 07:20:28 |
| undltd | Yeah, I totally get that and huge respect to all the moderators | 07:22:09 |
| undltd | It would be helpful though if it was not as confusing for someone joining to figure out where to get an invite | 07:37:45 |
| K900 | The problem is that the spammer is doing targeted attacks | 07:38:50 |
| K900 | So if we start linking to other rooms directly, they'll probably just start attacking those | 07:39:13 |
| K900 | The spam itself is automated, but there's a human actively driving it | 07:39:33 |
| undltd | oh; that's nasty | 08:13:39 |
 ryand56 | can I also get an invite to the new room? | 08:20:44 |
| K900 | Sent | 08:24:40 |
