Ah, the joys of open source: where "nobody has implemented 'mark all as read' on a space yet" is extrapolated to "half-baked and just a bunch of hacks". Custom emojis & sticker packs exist as per MSC1951 (t

it's a few weeks away. However, voice messages isn't in the initial release; it will follow shortly though. Hopefully the entirely new codebase will help resolve lag and other issues (please make sure the current issues are filed

Yes, eventually. Right now the sliding sync MSC is still in flux (e.g. we just realised today that it's missing an explicit flag to notify once the client has caught up with the server, rather than guessing via heuristics: https:&#x2F

I'm not going to be at CCCamp. I'm sure the folks who do make it would love to discuss your PRs; I'm sorry if they've ended up getting stuck in review. The point I was making earlier that I am not in a huge rush to talk

As I said, we're close to nailing the problem, and the element web team has literally been working on nothing else for weeks. I have no clue why you think we're disregarding it; it drives me nuts too.

Before I checked the figure, I thought it was around 22,000 (from memory, the I:line is set up for 25,000 connections). However, as time has gone one we've been more aggressive about culling idle connections on the Matrix side (plus t

I'm not being hyperbolic, i'm looking at the grafana stats on the matrix<->libera bridge, and the total connected users from Matrix fluctuates between around 10,000 and 12,000 users (bearing in mind that connections from Mat

As a user, this is miserable. Matrix is used as a decentralised bouncer for tens of thousands of users to access IRC (including me) and while the bridge has certainly had problems over the years (e.g. occasional delays & a recent spate

Matrix does not "log all chats". There were some IRC channels which had been explicitly configured by their chanops in the past to be "world readable" in Matrix parlance (i.e. opting into being publicly viewable), which

It's probably fair to say that matrix-rust-sdk is the flagship now, not matrix-js-sdk. Yes, js-sdk's doc isn't exhaustive, but http://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-js-sdk/stable/ and guides like htt

Agreed that the stuck notification problems with threads is a real embarrassment. However, I wouldn't give up on the whole project over one nasty class of bugs (which i am very hopeful we're close to nailing...)

On the Matrix side, we've put a lot of effort into being good neighbours, fwiw - e.g. recently this massive refactor at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/pull/166... to allow the matr

The reason Third Room has persisted is because there are enterprise folks willing to pay for it and support the team as a standalone thing - you can see the enterprisey showreel video at the end of the OP. It’s also very useful when fund
