I agree, but it's not discord's fault.
Discord is great at what it does. I find the same social issues with discord, slack, gitter, irc, matrix.org, etc. Chat may be good for the questioneer, but it's bad for search/retention. I kind of miss the prominence of phpbb.
- kitkat_new 5y agoMatrix chats can be indexed by google and other search engines if set to public.
- willjp 5y agoOh I didn't realize that, thank you!
- genewitch 5y agothe ones on my homeserver aren't, and searching for the domain of the homeserver shows that users are in rooms on other homeservers/networks.
- russjr08 5y agoUnder "Room Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Who can ready history?" do you have "Anyone" set? I believe this controls whether it can be indexed or not, as if you have it on any of the "Members only" settings, their bot needs to be in the room for it to see history. Disclaimer: I'm fairly new to administrating a Matrix server so I could be wrong, but the logic seems to make sense with my suggestion.
- genewitch 5y agoAh, that setting was not ticked. Interesting. I might try this on a different room.
- cuteboy19 5y agoI have never seen a matrix result show up in google though.
