Allow read markers to go backwards #1893

Open nunoperalta opened 1 week ago

nunoperalta commented 1 week ago

Suggestion In order for front-ends to be able to implement "Mark as Unread from this message" (like it's possible in Skype), Matrix needs to allow the read marker to go backwards.

See issue in Element: https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/347

Thank you!

My current opinion is we should separate read receipts from notifications instead of allowing them go backwards. For reasons discussed on MSC2867, going backwards is way more complicated.
