does Draupnir support per-room plicy? no | 09:46:22 |
 uep | nope. | 09:46:42 |
| Gnuxie 💜🐝 | and it likely never will | 09:46:52 |
 emily | I think we can just point people to the entrance room on the website etc., and link to the space from that | 09:46:55 |
| emily | the space just acts like a room if your client doesn't support spaces, AFAIK | 09:47:03 |
| uep | part of it is simply that they store that config as custom events in a special admin room, but it's still just laziness in the implementation of that | 09:47:42 |
| emily | but also this sucks – people can join the unofficial Discords in two clicks. do we really want to cede the ground of a place people can actually quickly ask a Nix question to them? | 09:47:44 |
| emily | (I know we might have no better option for Matrix. I'm just saying, I feel like the asking-a-question-on-Zulip-from-scratch experience starts to look better.) | 09:48:04 |
| emily | ("Matrix federates so people can bring an existing account" – yeah but entering an email and password is less work than joining a lobby and asking to be let in!) | 09:48:23 |
| uep | all true | 09:48:36 |
| emily | (because of code architecture issues, or design decision?) | 09:48:46 |
| uep | as is the fact that any of this faff is letting the spammers win | 09:48:53 |
| Gnuxie 💜🐝 | there's no "letting the spammers win" please stop. Yes Matrix is unsafe, yes the people making decisions were irresponsible and stupid. None of that is new and spammers didn't change it. | 09:50:43 |
