1 year ago You can set the redaction_retention_period in the synapse config to change how long redacted messages are kept: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#redaction_retention_period
And then use MSC2815 to be able to view redacted content in clients (although the client implementations of that aren't fully ready yet)

Is there any appetite to disable disappearing messages for the entire bridge?
For background: my WhatsApp/Matrix use case is for a highly regulated environment where we need to keep an audit trail of all messages that are sent between our users - so the ability for users to set messages to disappear after a certain time frame is a no-go for us.
