  • 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.
