Ability to restrict users to only replying in threads #1429

Open shumafuk opened 1 year ago

shumafuk commented 1 year ago

Suggestion I would like to have ability to create channel where users could comment only in threads, not in main chat. It could be done as new option in Roles & Permissions as "send reply in threads".

I'd like that too!

My use case is a room that aggregates news from RSS streams: https://matrix.to/#/#lifeonlinux-newsroom:matrix.org

I don't want the room to be mixed with user messages, which would quickly become difficult to read as there are several news per day, but I'd be ok with them reacting to individual news using threads.

comments and reactions are different things. Please could you be clear which you want?

Since @shumafuk says "channel where users could comment only in threads", I would guess that the term "reaction" in the issue title refers to "a user reacting by writing a comment", and not "reaction" as in the Element feature allowing to add smileys to messages.

"reactions in threads" doesn't really make much sense with our terminology, so I think OP means the ability to reply in a thread. I've updated the issue title and description.
