the usecase is apparently "Private chat and I want to remove it when my partner and I are done chatting"

I'm dubious about whether this is the best way to achieve that end

Additionally will be good to also remove old files from room storage.

MurzNN commented 7 years ago

Another useful command will be "Destroy room" that delete (redact) all messages, remove all files, kick all members from room, set room to "Invite only" and do one last thing - kick himself from room.

This would be very good, if something was talked about that has privacy concerns, or if we want to remove very old history.

Any news on this ? As a user caring about data occupation on server cost (environment/energy) for files that are not useful anymore or history that can easily be deleted from server, really looking forward to this !

I need this for my Riot group. Any updates on this?

Doesn't message retention take care of this?

I added redacting own messages in rooms functionality to the archiver bot.

This is great. You should add an option that allows users to define whether all messages should be deleted, or just messages older than X hours / days. After that is done, just running the script regularly (e.g., via cron in batch mode) would emulate disappearing messages.

@commonism Is this not merged to main branch yet? Did you create a PR with this feature? Cuz I still can't see the --redact command in main repo.

I am missing this as m.room.retention breaks rooms of all users from homeserver x leave, https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11448, which has became unacceptable and I have two options:

My preferred solution would be a bot that I can run without selfhosting Synapse. I have this feature on Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, IRC (Ergo CHATHISTORY) and XMPP (MUC MAM expiry).
