  Moderation?

    As you’ve probably seen from another comment

    github.com/Gnuxie/Draupnir

    The bot by default includes support for bans, redactions, anti-spam, server ACLs, room directory changes, room alias transfers, account deactivation, room shutdown, and more.

    And I know it’s self hosted and thus requires more work, which is why I suggested elsewhere to have a team of volunteers setting it up (the matrix room and draupnir server), presenting it to the LW admins, and letting they choose of they want to endorse it.

    What do you think of that? It would give people supporting Matrix a way to constructively try to come up with a solution that can potentially make everyone happy.

      Cool but what if i dont have access to the server? As this would 3x the managing effort of the LW team.

      1. Matrix Server - Probably gets ddosed too
      2. The bot itself
      3. Learn Matrix itself for moderation, managing the server.

      At all LW wants to server a reliable ( unddosable ) service where you can get an response 99% of the time. And not “silencable” with a ddos. That costs more and more money.

        In this scenario, the newly formed Matrix would be in charge of those. They manage the servers, they moderate the chats, they even set up their own funding for recurring costs.

        LW staff can have access, but most of the operations are performed by the Matrix team.

        I am suggesting this as a way to have satisfying end to this discussion:

        • either the volunteers realize it’s impossible to use Matrix for this usecase, make it public, and then Discord becomes the reasonable solution
        • either the solution works and it can be used

        It’s a win win in any case, and probably a way to appease the resentment we can see in this thread
