Hi,
Many Matrix users on Libera quit with the message "You have been kicked for being idle", which is confusing, because from the perspective of IRC users, it looks like that user used
/quit You have been kicked for being idle
. Instead, the message could be: "Leaving because of inactivity".Similarly, when a Matrix user uploads a file, it looks like this:
* nick[m] posted a file: blahblah.txt (8KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/... >
, which looks like they used/me
and talks about themselves in the third person. Instead, it should look like this:<nick[m]> blahblah.txt: <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/...> (8KiB)
to feel more naturalThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
