From 38b5bfcb99f8d696a34d5bcf697ca529a31fce87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aminda Suomalainen Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:41:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] pages/matrix: add custom not-emoji reactions and two links --- pages/matrix.markdown | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/pages/matrix.markdown b/pages/matrix.markdown index bf4fb8a..1a662f0 100644 --- a/pages/matrix.markdown +++ b/pages/matrix.markdown @@ -32,6 +32,12 @@ links.* * [Matrix.org](https://matrix.org/) is the official website. * [My gist repository also has notes on Matrix, mostly /devtools related ones](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/gist/src/branch/master/matrix), they predate Miki and I hope to sort more relevant or historical parts there. +### How do you do custom not-emoji reactions? + +In FluffyChat and Nheko you can reply to something with `/react something` to add a `something` reaction. In Hydrogen there is a `...` next to emojis allowing you to enter freeform text as a reaction. + +[Element-Web doesn't support this yet](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/19409) and while there is [open pull request](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/6628), the merging is blocked due to Element not knowing how to handle moderation and reporting for malicious reactions. + ### Why so many accounts? In my opinion it's preferable to have multiple accounts on different homeservers for ensuring decentralisation instead of having a single authority in power and being able to issue commands from multiple servers in case of federation meltdown which multiple rooms experienced during the period of room version 9 before homeserver software started to nag on unintentionally open registration refusing to start. Additionally state resets are a good reason to keep old accounts around.
