Shut down remaining Gitter rooms #879

Closed SethTisue closed 11 hours ago

SethTisue commented 12 hours ago

scala/scala, scala/cn, scala/fr

the latter two were kept open at the time we shut all the other non-English rooms down because people spoke up and said keep them open. but that was ages ago and the rooms are not active, so let's pull the plug

as for scala/scala, I think that at one time there was some value in keeping the room around in case the move to Discord didn't work out, or in case someone didn't know about the move to Discord

but at this point so much time has passed and I think it's time. it's not okay to leave the rooms up unless they are moderated, and although the effort it takes me to check in from time to time and ban spammers and so forth isn't large, at this point it just isn't worth it anymore

here is a small archive (115k compressed) of the scala/cn and scala/fr rooms in JSON format: Archive.zip

okay, in all three rooms I:

I don't see any easy way to kick out all the users except by doing it one at a time. I don't think it matters

I don't see any easy way to outright delete the rooms, either, but I don't think it matters

so this is done

here's the scala/scala archive in plain text, which is more convenient for casual perusal by humans matrix - scalascala - Chat Export - 2024-10-16T22-28-34.465Z.txt.zip

made the previous message history invisible

Why not keep it? I think the main argument in favour of Gitter was that the message history was publicly available. I'm not sure if that's still the case.
