 mirdaki | If replies are treated as thread messages, how do you differentiate comments on those replies? I think that gets hard to understand very quickly (if you're using a regularly chat client anyway)
So I would suggest making a reply a separate message. Granted, I haven't looked at how messages can reference other messages outside a threaded context yet, so there may be other problems there | 15:24:58 |
| imbev | i'm inclined towards the same solution, however it does make a slightly less consistent experience with chat clients that don't support threads | 15:27:24 |

| imbev | object 3 is a thread message and object 1 is a reply message, both in response to the same message | 15:28:55 |
| imbev | it wouldn't be a problem to differentiate the two, however i would need to look into replies within a thread | 15:29:40 |
| imbev | * object 3 is a thread message and object 1 is a reply message, both in response to the same message (after conversion to matrix-social-specific data format, not the original matrix json) | 15:31:32 |
| imbev | i understand your problem with a chain of replies | 15:32:41 |
| imbev | i'll ask in the beyond chat room | 15:33:25 |

maybe responding to messages could be sent in a thread, but reading replies and threads would be the same (in matrix-social)

| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | Hello, just came across the repo. What is matrix-social exactly? | 07:47:16 |

 mondstern | I mean it's supposed to be a messenger, isn't it ? | 12:34:25 |
| imbev | a social media style matrix client | 14:35:13 |
| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | I'm confused. | 17:05:54 |
| imbev | it will act like reddit, twitter, etc, but use the Matrix protocol | 17:07:37 |
| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | So like Lemmy and Mastodon? | 17:11:09 |
| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | Will it federate with that? | 17:11:17 |
| valka | In reply to @erebion:erebion.eu
Will it federate with that? no because they're activitypub. The closest thing that probably exists is cerulean https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/18/introducing-cerulean | 17:12:08 |
| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | Then why not use the protocol that's already gaining traction? | 17:14:07 |
| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | Will it not just divide communities further without interoperability? | 17:14:23 |
| erebion 🏳️🌈♾ | I mean, I like Matrix. Just wonder why Matrix. | 17:14:54 |
