Matrix governance shit, rant
Seriously, when will the Matrix people accept that their governance procedure is exclusionary and doesn't work?
Today I learned that you're apparently *expected* to repeatedly ping them for status updates over a timespan of months to get any MSC moving, including for an MSC whose purpose is literally to fix the governance and capacity issues for everything else
Fuck this shit, honestly. Fix your governance process if you actually want people to contribute. I can barely remember what I ate yesterday, why are you expecting me to do your job of proposal tracking
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
This marks the end of my attempts at fixing the governance process, I guess.
The MSC is here, in case you want to read it: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4073/
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
As I was told: "it's not tracked as something which needs comment in the next 3 months."
Okay then. Guess you don't actually want your capacity issues to get resolved.

@joepie91 you are extremely shortening the reality of what went down in the foundation room here...
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
@MTRNord I have also left out the several years of private conversations with Travis and Matthew where I gave them practically paint-by-numbers solutions to get out of the hole they'd dug themselves into, which were then promptly ignored.
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
@MTRNord I am not expecting them to 'backchannel'. I am expecting them to *prioritize* it. To be proactive about the thing that is literally meant to save their broken and falling-apart processes.
I *deliberately* made it an MSC *because* I didn't want to backchannel this.
This is the actual problem here: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/111736936127357679
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
@joepie91 Tbh you are currently looking like an egocentric person. Especially as you always in public complain about back-channelling but now that you want to push something through the process you complain that they dont backchannel for it...
