@faithisleaping @smxi @tarajdactyl @malcircuit Oh yikes. That thing about protocol extensions sounds like a bad design choice if you're trying to create an entire network that is compatible with itself. Or at least it sounds like they made the base protocol way too bare. That's sad to hear. I'm still hoping it can be fixed though because I like the idea of matrix.
@macberg @faithisleaping @smxi @tarajdactyl @malcircuit also it's tools for moderating communities are... Lacking, power levels are a tiny step above the admin-user system but are miles away from e.g. roles with fine tuned permissions (yano like video game clans and such have had forever and discord has), maybe it's possible to put roles on top of power levels but from my knowledge of the protocol I'm not seeing how. Add onto that the absolute mess that is VoIP "integration", the general incomplete and buggyness of many clients (looking at you neochat) and the absolute arcane and sometimes just wrong documentation of the protocol (hello description of valid resource URls which implies tighter requirements than the ones for domain names while including a domain name which must match the servers) and uh yeah... Maybe it can go somewhere but right now I don't think it's viable personally
