other8026 Sad to hear, but understandable. To be fair though, matrix doesn't support deleting messages either, as last I checked it all depends on an honor system between servers (which is to be expected when federation happens).
I'm not up to date with matrix client features, but if there are matrix clients that store messages locally, then matrix has the same message retention problem as xmpp (and irc).

riddlemethis You might not even have to go that far, you can have an xmpp muc be silent without voice out of the box and manually whitelist people that request voice. To cut down on the spam, have a certain time period before granting voice. You can also drop certain messages that match a specific keyword before they reach the muc (xmpp is pretty robust!).

Another thing to note too is the more platforms you support, the more resources it takes to manage everything (not sure by how much, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was exponential). So I understand the fact that the grapheneos community simply can't create a bridge to every protocol under the sun.
I'm just sad that xmpp didn't make the cut while discord did :melting_face:

I'm very glad though that irc is still an option, even though I'm not as comfortable knowing that my messages are being relayed to discord (which doesn't affect me as much because I mainly lurk).
