Ability to move messages? Bulk or not? #15

Closed jD91mZM2 closed 6 years ago

Should you be able to move one or a bunch of messages into another channel? If so, should it be one or a bunch?

Move? Why? Too complicated it seems to me. I mean, it could be very easy to do, but not something that I would personally want to do in a server. I don't find a reason for it.

I think it would be great for messages that are placed in the wrong channel. And it's easy enough too, currently unnamed stores every message with a unique ID... across channels. I just have to change a single field

I know, I said it, it is very easy to do.. But IDK if it has a real use case. I mean, sure!! Do it! Features that can be implemented and don't cost from something else, must be implemented. There is zero reason not to.

don't cost from something else

I mean... performance? It takes some time to send a delete and receive event for every message? Also, what happens to the timestamps?

Then don't do it! Moving isn't that useful anyways and who will sit down and move messages?
