Future Chat improvements
A general idea collection issue about the future of the chat system.
- Group chat: Depends on Groups
- E2EE chat: Can probably use the same CS api as mastodon. For thoughts on the UX, please read https://blog.soykaf.com/post/encryption/
- Deleting chats: User might want to delete a whole chat, without having to delete each single post by hand
- Only-mutuals-mode: Allow chat only between people who are following each other. Might a server-wide or user-level setting
- Being able to see if a user can chat or not: This can be done by adding a property to the user, so once we refetch them, we know that they can receive chat messages. Thus we can only display the chat option with users where it is possible [pleroma!2716 (merged)]
- Polls in Chats (useful for groups)
- NSFW in Chats
