Great write-up. I am curious about one part I think is missing from the proposal:
How do you get into actual contact with someone you meet in a super group? If there is no premeditated solution for this people will likely use the only option available: sharing your invite link in such a group, which is not desired I think.
getting in 1:1 contact is out of the scope, and it is the feature of this groups that people canât
if you share your invite link that is up to you tho, another option is share invite link to a temporary profile and from there then actually share the real invite link to your more private profile after some interactions and confirming the person is the right one, but probably sharing your real invite link strangers is a bad idea anyways so better just have such trash-profile for sharing publicly in such public groups and interacting with strangers with that profile when needed,
notice you can even rotate email addresses (via Relays settings) so even if you shared the link to your trash-profile, there is always ways to get rid of troll/spammers (besides resetting the invite link so they canât get in contact with you)
I think @irvan-putra 's is a great complementary proposal. Perhaps a good approach would be to offer both? And I agree the âless encryptedâ room variant should probably have a warning.
Hi, I had feedback from a large numbers of users, All spread across different groups because atm itâs not safe to make those groups public. We do discuss DC, FOSS and other technical stuff.
Problem is.. Those groups are invite only cos every time they have been made public, some troll would just take control and even delete the chat group.
Is any option, even basic like admin/moderators been considered by developers for this purposes?
Thanks for your work and interest.
Hi! By means of notifications, it seems that the previous post 6 hours ago was mentioning me. I couldnât read it, but, after reading a bit this discussion, I assume it was related to my recent request Is there some feature equivalent to Whatsapp communities in Delta Chat?, which seems like a duplicate of this one.
I do not understand why âpublic groupsâ (such as those rooms in matrix) cannot be encrypted, but anyway, public groups wouldnât be my goal, but semi-public groups, which I would understand as collectives of people (letâs say, between 15 and 200), which you may have not meet a lot with, but they are not random people of any side of the world.
So these super groups, communities or whatever, with one or more moderators, would merge together the idea of multiple groups (with users not able to identify/talk each-other inter-groups) with channels (with moderators able to add distinct groups and moderators [or users too?] able to sending messages to all the groups)???
