 @b05df304 Why not? Matrix has a concept of room that has moderators, which then contains all the messages including replies-to-replies, so the semantics of moderation match what IMO people expect.

People find it weird, but I don't think it's correct to think of Matrix as a chat protocol. Jabber is a protocol for sending messages, while Matrix is a protocol for synchronizing contents of message lists. If you look at it from this angle, it makes way more sense that Matrix is suited to various "less online"[*] usecases.

 @b05df304 If I gather correctly, you are thinking of a construction that is loaded ~only in compression. Am I right?

What's the order of magnitude of the size you're thinking about (it's not obvious, because it depends on the angle in the pyramid's tip)? Less than 1% of Earth's mass/more than that?
