Add Semi-Anonymous Rooms (SPEC-260) #119

Open matrixbot opened 9 years ago

matrixbot commented 9 years ago

Semi-Anonymous Room - A room in which an occupant's full ID can be discovered by room admins only. In such room occupant may choose an ID which does not expose his "usual"/full ID by which he is identified outside the context of a room. (An adaptation of XEP-045::SARs)

Allows for more privacy / identity management.

This seems a lot like rocketchat's anonymous (pseudonymous) mode they proposed here: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/604 and the eventual implementation here: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/6797 🙂

We will probably get this automatically when MSC1228 lands.

So useful in many contexts … and to achieve better data protection compliance!
