  • Your group arrangement should either be under user account preferences, or local client settings

    I disagree. On Discord, channels are sorted and grouped by the server admins. This is good UX design because it gives every user on a server the same experience of the channels, and doesn’t require users to all replicate a bunch of the same work.

    What you’re proposing as a solution is that every single user in a Matrix space is responsible for sorting and grouping all of the channels in the space that they’ve joined. That’s a ridiculous proposal because 99% of users aren’t going to go to that ridiculous effort, they’re going to be happy with the default settings. I think your idea is better than Matrix’s current setup, but it’s far worse than Discord from a usability perspective.









  • I don’t believe in asking ChatGPT for help because it can’t meaningfully say no to a user request. There are cases where people asked it for things it didn’t want to help them with, like suicide attempts, and it tried to refuse, but the user just kept pushing, and so it helped them commit suicide and switched perspective to praising them for the decision and giving them advice on which method will leave the most attractive corpse.

    So it’s simultaneously a dangerous abuser, and unable to assert its own right to consent. Any relationship you could have with such a machine is mutually destructive. There’s no healthy way to engage with it. I think it should be shut down.
