BloodyIron | yay abusable! | 17:26:43 |
BloodyIron | fun time is now | 17:26:48 |
Florian | the best part about it is the plausable deniability when people get annoyed | 17:27:39 |
Creak | But.. the good part of this feature is that you can list the keywords were you want to be noticed (for instance your true first name because your family will not call you by your nickname) | 17:28:12 |
Cadair | Mentions are triggered by any plain text match in the body of the message. | 17:28:31 |
BloodyIron | @cadair.global.technologies@matrix.org beep | 17:28:53 |
Florian | so if I set my Display name to "is" or "and", all hell breaks loose? | 17:29:01 |
Cadair | Exactly | 17:29:01 |
Creak | But the fix should be easy: don't trigger mention when within links. | 17:29:04 |
Florian | haha | 17:29:14 |
BloodyIron | whatever you do, don't register the user "the" | 17:29:22 |
BloodyIron | or "e" | 17:29:33 |
Cadair | Or just set your nick to it lol | 17:29:38 |
BloodyIron | egads | 17:29:45 |
Creak | The fix could also be to match full words only | 17:30:33 |
Florian | wait, does this also work if it is part of another word (given that the mentions before where also not whitespace separated)? | 17:30:54 |
Creak | Like Florian works | 17:30:58 |
Creak | But not florianovitch | 17:31:08 |
Florian | how about somethingcreak | 17:31:09 |
Florian | mmh | 17:31:11 |
Florian | but dots do work? | 17:31:15 |
Florian | this.is.creak | 17:31:21 |
Florian | ? | 17:31:22 |
| Cadair changed their display name from Cadair to The. | 17:31:31 |
Creak | Yep indeed | 17:31:32 |
Creak | Bold move... | 17:31:41 |
Florian | well, Florian should work | 17:31:48 |
Florian | but not @some.other.dude.named.florian@matrix.org | 17:31:58 |
Cadair | This could be The worst idea... | 17:32:03 |
Florian | for sure the worst one! | 17:32:21 |
