<jfred>Getting invite spammed on Matrix recently has made me really want a chat system with capability style introduction mechanisms
<dthompson>would be nice!
<av0n>jfred: ooo what are capability-style introduction schemes?
<jfred>av0n: To stick with chat as an example, rather than having one single entrypoint to reach someone (which is natural in typical ACL systems), you have potentially many capabilities that could reach someone. Maybe I expose a capability to this room that lets anyone here DM me easily; maybe from another room you can DM me but only after a proof-of-work check; that kind of thing
<av0n>ahhh very cool.
