@fractivore:cyberia.club | I'm just thinking, it can't be intended behavior. Thanks for engaging with me on this line of inquiry. | 18:20:22 |
@fractivore:cyberia.club | In reply to @qyriad:katesiria.org Still broken for me at least Even now? What client are you on, by the way? | 18:20:51 |
Rostby | This might be stupid but I feel like matrix is alot more clunky compared to alternatives | 18:23:57 |
K900 | It is | 18:24:03 |
Charles | What alternatives | 18:36:51 |

@adham-omran:matrix.org | In reply to @charles:computer.surgery What alternatives I assume Slack mainly and perhaps Zulip Chat and perhaps even mailing lists | 13:40:25 |
K900 | Slack is a silo, Zulip is a semi-silo and has some really weird commercial licensing terms, mailing lists will make half the community quit instantly | 13:41:12 |

it can't be intended behavior.
I second this, I don't even see the "Nix Audio" and "Nix / NixOS (replaced)" rooms within the Nix space on my client.
Is it really the intended behavior to stop?* every N messages and recreate the room?
- I don't know the correct term

The intended behavior is to not have servers roll back persistent state | 13:44:27 |

I wasn't making a suggestion to switch but trying to expand on the alternatives
| 13:44:53 |
K900 | Alternatives that we can't switch to aren't particularly interesting | 13:45:18 |
@adham-omran:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me The intended behavior is to not have servers roll back persistent state I don't quite get this, are there resources I can look into about this? I have a work team setup on Matrix and it's my first time seeing this behavior live, so I'd appreciate it if you could give me some resources for me to read further into it | 13:45:45 |
K900 | The reason all the rooms are breaking is that the nixos.org server had an account and all associated data manually deleted from the database | 13:46:22 |
K900 | Which is not something you should normally do, ever | 13:46:30 |
K900 | And not really something the protocol is equipped to handle | 13:47:07 |
@adham-omran:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me The reason all the rooms are breaking is that the nixos.org server had an account and all associated data manually deleted from the database How even... yeah this is not something that would normally happen. Thank you for the clarification | 13:48:59 |
K900 | That server was hosted by EMS, which is Element's SaaS offering, and some people had accounts on it, including moderators that set up the rooms | 13:49:55 |
K900 | And when the server was migrated to NixOS owned infra, they had to delete those for privacy reasons | 13:50:23 |
K900 | The expectation was that preserving some state was better than starting from scratch | 13:52:02 |
