This is a Gitter user Reply
You can’t click the green and see what the reply is in reference too
If I reply it does stack on gitter side as a reply but it looks as such
Ohhh, I see! That the message is edited and there is a known bug around that, gitterHQ/webapp#2794
Although Element iOS would ideally fallback to picking up the relation from the original message like Element web does
Another example
This is on trunk-recorder/lobby but it happens to the others that started as Gitters though
Can anyone explain the "encrypt to verified sessions only" option in Element Android app? Should I keep this enabled?

I was looking at vector-im/roadmap#26 and i am not really happy about the note that talks about a public archive
Shouldn't the right to privacy and to be forgotten not also respected? At least obfuscate the user details for a public record so that you have to be part of the channel at the moment the message was written
The mailing list archives also obscure adresses
at least the good ones
Both gitter and matrix both already have a set of visibility settings which make the history publically accessible.
The administrators of the room (in matrix) can decide if they want you to have to be a member of the room to see all history, history since you joined or all history is public.
madlittlemods (Eric Eastwood): A while ago you helped me re-connect #simpletask:matrix.org to gitter. I wondering if the initial out-of-sync might have happened when the (libera.chat) irc bridge kicking gitter users out of the room due to inactivity?

There's no problem at the moment, this is more of a "maybe it will save some headache in the future" thing.

No worries, I was planning on following up with details.
- The irc bridge also represents users 1:1. E.g. I appear on libera.chat as
smichel17[m]. - If a user connected to libera.chat is inactive across the entire network (doesn't send a message to any channel) for some amount of time, the network kicks them.
- Over the bridge, this results in them getting kicked from the matrix room. I would consider this a bug in the irc bridge.
I was wondering if a bridged gitter user getting kicked might confuse the gitter badger / break the bridge
1 reply
If so, then any room which is bridged (plumbed) with both gitter and libera.chat is at risk of getting broken
Hey, I have just noticed some weird behaviour between the bridge and element web, these images aren't displaying correctly on element web: https://matrix.to/#/!LxgCDiKMJqfaHweVpH:matrix.org/$16400879708414HitfE:gitter.im?via=matrix.org&via=openastronomy.org&via=gitter.im
it looks like an inline image / hyperlink combo issue
apologies for the spam - wanted to make sure the bridge was working, and this was the closest room 😇
Hello, is there any way to grant a matrix user moderation rights on the channel?

I love gitter.im interface so much!
To my understanding, I can host my own gitter.im app right?

Really wish element can get as good as gitter XD
Thank you for the information!
It explained a lot!
@MadLittleMods: there seems to be some rumours that matrix/element has a cryptobro relationship that's causing pycqa to potentially choose discord over gitter

I manually joined
@gitter-badger:gitter.im into the room and it seems to be working now. Probably because we're not specifying a ?server_name when joining. Do users get kicked out of the room?
