 emily | in my view, it's not really a good thing for NixOS that rooms are independent of homeserver | 10:08:46 |
| emily | the split-brain issues we've had, and the reactive-only moderation, are things that wouldn't be an issue if nixos.org was authoritative for our rooms | 10:09:10 |
| emily | and the benefits we gain from federation are from users being able to be on different homeservers, not the rooms being distributed across homeservers | 10:09:28 |
| emily | of course this may not be the case for all communities | 10:09:35 |
 Gnuxie 💜🐝 | well that's another argument entirely and we can't go from saying this feature will take too long to roll out to fundamentally changing the protocol x3 | 10:11:31 |
 dgrig | The (main/only?) benefit of the current architecture is the fact that the nixos.org HS isn't a SPOF. Obviously, with this also come all the issues you mentioned (split brains, abuse, etc). | 10:11:47 |
| emily | (also wow I did not know that Matrix had spent that much on core dev for what a trash fire everything still is. how come they constantly give off the appearance of being critically endangered from being strapped for cash?) | 10:12:05 |
| emily | oh for sure. the approach seems sensible given the existing constraints | 10:12:19 |

(also wow I did not know that Matrix had spent that much on core dev for what a trash fire everything still is. how come they constantly give off the appearance of being critically endangered from being strapped for cash?) bc that figure is out of the ceo's ass and was used to build a for profit buisness, not core matrix dev | 10:12:42 |
