No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

You can't opt out of video streams when you're in a voice chat. Is it really that big of a deal though? I mean it's a problem, but not something to discard Matrix over... Unless of course you have some other complaints you haven't metioned. Regardless, it depends on what client you use. Matrix being decentralised means you have to choose a client, and it's up to the client devs to have the features you want implemented.

if your data is limited, yeah it's a huge deal. voice takes a smalll fraction of the data video does.

Fair. If this is the Element client they're talking about, I don't know why they haven't implemented that yet because they're the biggest one. If it's another client though, it's a problem with the client, not Matrix.

Oh, Matrix can do it in general? Hmm...

Yeah, not good to force on video, especially on a mobile client.
