The words used at the start of a room feel weird in the context of DMs #455

Closed puyoxyz closed 2 years ago

puyoxyz commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

The beginning of a DM room uses the same words as a normal room, which feel unnatural in this context.

Reproduction

Scroll to the top of a DM.

Expected behavior

Something like "This is the start of your conversation with (name)" or whatever when it's a DM and not a room

Platform and versions

Linux (GNOME 41.5 on Artix Linux)
Microsoft Edge
Cinny 1.8.2
puyo.xyz (on Synapse)

Additional context

On Discord, this is the difference between (1) a DM and (2) a channel

I'll do this in #431 !

viasux commented 2 years ago

I'd prefer "This is the beginning of your direct message with user" (adding the word history seems unnecessary)

arnopensource commented 2 years ago

I went with "This is the beginning of your conversation with @user"

The fix is ready but I do not have a lot of time to finish the other part of the pull request. It adds some delay to the merge of the fix, sorry about that :/
