After getting a fuck ton of notifications with truly repulsive group names and messages I can’t say I blame them.

I mean, one compromised account leading to a massive influx of spam is a legitimate concern.

Matrix is commonly used for public, discoverable rooms, much like IRC or Discord. Perhaps it’s not good for that use case, but the author seems to wish it was.
An effective spam prevention approach is a basic feature of any public communication service that reaches a certain size. Perhaps keyword filtering as the author suggests isn’t the right approach, but some rate limits would help:

Or something like a “permission for broadcast messages” the room owner needs to grant?
