It's kind of wild to me that they haven't prioritized this more. This issue has been open for almost exactly 6 years: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/565 . This one even longer: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/836 . The Matrix permission system still doesn't even have a way to say "sending images is not allowed" (either per room or per user).


maybe because of limited budget and more urgent issues? who knows


And what could be more urgent than this?


building a more flexible solution for blocking content, rather than hardcoded rules like "no images": https://matrix.org/blog/2025/04/introducing-policy-servers/


Is there something fundamental to the matrix architecture and permissions system that makes it impossible or difficult to allow room/server operators the ability to limit certain users from posting multimedia content?


having a usable technical foundation, staying financially afloat
