## The problem

Whenever new moderators join us, they are generally invited to the main room
and expected to find their way to the other rooms.

However the other rooms will error at them for not being a member of the
space first as that is how Element or Matrix has designed it.

## The solution

Allow moderators to join any room, including the space, as long as they are
a member of another room, even if it was the room they were attempting to
join.

```json
{
  "allow": [
    {
      "room_id": "!DcaHQxyIyPiGpoyUcx:fairydust.space",
      "type": "m.room_membership"
    },
    {
      "room_id": "!etDMqntYVqugEClPcE:artemislena.eu",
      "type": "m.room_membership"
    },
    {
      "room_id": "!UzhJxpVKFHtlgsIjjr:fairydust.space",
      "type": "m.room_membership"
    },
    {
      "room_id": "!feRAxFkutgWTcPZMDf:neko.dev",
      "type": "m.room_membership"
    }
  ],
  "join_rule": "restricted"
}
```
