And then you are automatically kicked for spam. Long messages are strongly disliked on irc and the typical workflow is you paste your text in to a pastebin and link it in a message which matrix does.
- Arnavion 6y agoYou type the prose part of your question in the channel. The thing that gets pastebin'd is code or logs if they're more than one line long. [1] The problem I was describing is that the Matrix user has no reason to follow this rule, because the Matrix client UI lets them type arbitrary long prose and code and logs in a single message and send that. And then the bridge has no choice but to put the whole thing in a pastebin. [1]: Unless the prose part of your question is itself an essay. But in that case the solution is not to put your question in a pastebin. It's to spend some time distilling your question down to remove all the fluff that made it an essay.
- setr 6y agoProbably the correct thing is for matrix to realize that this is an IRC bridge, and warn the user this behavior will occur; they can fix it accordingly, and everyone is happy
