@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work what !! they're actually making matrix good ???????

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@sneexy I knew there was an MSC for this but it would've normally required a fucken room version

now what's this!?!? this JUST WORKS!?!??? WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO???

[doskel@masto.doskel.net]

@alexia @sneexy oh my god they finally got it through???? RBAC has been a meme since i first joined matrix like five years ago

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@doskel @sneexy the thing is there was no room version .

idk what the fUCK CINNY DID

[doskel@masto.doskel.net]

@alexia @sneexy LIES LIES LIES I AM WRONG IGNORE ME
i mean most MSCs don't need room versions afaik they're just funny events
room versions are, from my knowledge, mostly for changes in the state resolution spec

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@doskel @sneexy

Yes but the existing MSCs to fully replace power levels with a role system require a room version due to how deeply engrained power levels are into state res

you know what Cinny did?

Fuck it. Custom event with mappings

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

@alexia @sneexy it's based on the usual power level integer, you can't apply multiple roles to somebody, so that's why it doesn't require a new room version!

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

@alexia @doskel @sneexy

i feel like (ab?)using custom events like that is the way to get more fun stuff onto matrix

though i think that for some things, having a kind of state event that allows each user to only alter the key corresponding to their own username might be necessary
