I don’t understand what’s going on with this redemption arc

They all worked for the local branch of a huge international corporation that shall remain anonymous, so I will only refer to the corporation by their initials: IBM.

Some kind of company that works internationally, supplying businesses with machines?

Their profiles only contributions are self promoting their slop app and nothing else. Shameless

I have an alt where I occasionally make contributions in preparation for my self promotion.

No slop planned… for now.

ok, well good luck with the other thread where the other guy is also trying to help you understand that you aren’t quite right on what you’re upset about. I’m not making suggestions, I’m trying to help you understand what you are misinterpreting .

What you’re proposing as a solution is that every single user in a Matrix space is responsible for sorting and grouping all of the channels in the space that they’ve joined. That’s a ridiculous proposal because 99% of users aren’t going to go to that ridiculous effort, they’re going to be happy with the default settings.

it’s so ridiculous that it’s what IRC clients and Slack does.

I’m sorry that I forgot to also specify that what you’re talking about could be part of the admin settings for the specific server, which is where that information should be, which again, is not going to be part of the chat protocol.

I’m saying you’re confused on how the technology works. There’s differences between the protocol, user account settings, user account preferences, and local client settings.

The protocol is how messages are sent and processed. User account settings are what your user is allowed to do and kept on the server. User account preferences are things that should be sent to your client when you log into it. Local client settings are things that the software you are running should know.

Your group arrangement should either be under user account preferences, or local client settings. This is not part of the messaging protocol.

If it’s not supported by the protocol, how is an admin’s sorting of channels supposed to be pushed to the users in the server?

How does my client know to use dark mode without the protocol knowing?!

Just ask Ian to start your computer when he goes on it

Great work, but I just want to share the stupid comment of

“Looks like a cup of internet”
