 Picnoir | Then, the channels falling in the nixos.org space are usually moderated througth the mod team. Sadly, I think we don't have any fluent chinese speaker in the team ATM.
Meaning we'll probably have to figure something out wrt. moderation. | 11:44:46 |

 K900 | I believe that was also what we arrived at last time this was discussed | 11:47:52 |
 linj | There used to be a spammer targeting this room. The room is set to invite-only as a defense. Can it be added to nixos space while it remains invite-only? | 11:48:23 |
| linj | Can it be solved by that a Chinese person volunteers to join nixos mod team and mods that room? There may be volunteers. | 11:51:48 |
| linj | Currently, people will be invited automatically after they verified their github account. https://bouncer.nichi.co/ | 11:54:26 |
| Picnoir | The mjolnir bot should help with the spam. | 11:55:21 |
| K900 | I believe the other concern is the bridging | 11:55:30 |
| Picnoir | Yes, I think this would be the way to go. But we have to talk about that with the full moderation team first. | 11:55:52 |
| linj | mjolnir:nixos.org is indeed in that room, but it does not work for that specific spammer | 11:57:09 |
| K900 | It does not generally work automatically | 11:57:23 |
| linj | That spammer manually crates new matrix.org accounts and manually joins that room | 11:57:42 |
| linj | I do not think mjolnir works in this situation but would like to be proven false. | 11:58:17 |
| K900 | It depends on what the spammer is actually doing, Mjolnir can likely be configured to detect that | 11:59:04 |
| Picnoir | ah right, it's bridged to a telegram room | 12:01:13 |
| linj | The sammer keeps posting things contains some key words. No, matching those key words will not work because they have infinite variants. | 12:01:30 |
| linj | What is concern about bridging to telegram? moderation? | 12:02:24 |
| K900 | Yes | 12:05:47 |
| linj | Just curious, there are many rooms whose main language is not English in the nixos space and one room description says it is bridged to telegram. Do they not have any moderation issue? | 12:10:46 |
| linj | I have been in that room for a few years, discussions are mostly about tech. I only remember one incident needing moderation. Maybe another way is to do nothing until there are new incidents needing moderation, just like how moderation is done for https://discourse.nixos.org/c/learn/chinese/. | 12:24:47 |
| Picnoir | Well, the discourse category is mostly idle. The matrix room is quite busy.
Don't worry, we'll likely figure something up. Give us a bit of time to see how to make that happen. It's Saturday, we're not all online. | 12:26:53 |

 hexa | nixos-de is also bridged to IRC. I don't believe that should be an issue for the regional rooms | 12:47:18 |
| Picnoir | Yup | 12:48:04 |
| Picnoir | We actually reached consensus. We're going to give the nixos.org alias to the room. | 12:48:27 |
| Picnoir | We'll look for a cn moderator if an actual problem arises. | 12:48:41 |
| Picnoir | linj: #nixos-zhcn:nixos.org and #zh-cn:nixos.org are now pointing to this room. You can set one of those as a primary name on your side if you want. | 12:53:02 |
| Picnoir | The room was already in the international space. | 12:53:29 |
| linj | thanks | 12:57:10 |
|  aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) joined the room. | 13:15:55 |
