Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord
Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoIf volunteers were to setup a Matrix room, would it be possible to add a pinned post with it in a similar way to the Discord one?
As always, thank you for your work!

That would interfere with any official matrix set up by our team should we decide to in the future. I appreciate your proposal don’t get me wrong but then others will ask the same for their own ideas/projects and the announcement community is strictly for official Lemmy World announcements.

I completely understand, and that’s why I was a bit surprised by AvaddonLFC comment just above about “suggesting better options”.
Quite a few people already mentioned Matrix, so I don’t see what else people could do?

How would you handle brigading, spam attacks, lemmy account verification, and high user traffic on a public Matrix room with little to no customisation? Genuinely curious.

Using github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir ?
The Lemmy account verification is an interesting point, how is it currently handle in Discord? There might be a way to have a similar mechanism in Matrix.

Yeah, there are not a lot of alternatives. We’ll see about matrix but that would mean more work for us too. I’s not that we have anything against matrix really, it’s that discord is what most of us had been using before.
And we have people like @Rooki@lemmy.world writing kickass bots for it.

That makes sense, which is why I suggested another team of volunteer setting that up, and then proposing it to the LW admins, who would then decide if the solution look good enough for them to be officially endorsed?
That would allow the people pushing for Matrix to start working on a solution that could potentially satisfy everyone.
