### Is there any kind of Matrix etiquette I should know about?
Not particularly, you will find the same kind of social expectations like
anywhere else such as IRC or Telegram. Here are some guidelines:
- Ask for a permission in room before starting a private/direct message/discussion with someone.
- There is commonly an exception when you are contacting a moderator of about an issue in
the chat and wish to avoid getting attention on yourself.
- When you eventually do message someone, state your business, without leaving
your first message to a greeting. For more information about this, refer to
[nohello.net](https://nohello.net/).
- When creating a new room, avoid advertising it in existing rooms. The
first guideline also applies, refrain from inviting random people from
other rooms without their permission.
- If you do perform mass inviting of strangers, you will be considered as a
spammer and most likely end up on shared banlists resulting a significant
portition of Matrix communities instantly banning you even if you never
interacted with them directly.
### How do you do custom not-emoji reactions? ### How do you do custom not-emoji reactions?
They are implemented by multiple clients other than Element. In FluffyChat, Gomuks 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. In Schildichat Android when you search for a reaction, it offers to send your search as a freeform-reaction. They are implemented by multiple clients other than Element.
