The feature your interested in is called portable identities and is still in development, as far as i know. As far as matrix is concerned there is no difference between a personal chat and a group chat. There are rooms with members, thats it. Maybe the tool can kick your old identity after a successful transfer though. Hope this helps a little :)
such a great episode. love it
Im using the ansible matrix playbook with synapse for 3 users and a bunch of bridges. I choose this because I used to setup my docker container and everything myself up but i absolutely dont want any downtime on my communications just because a config is not perfectly setup. If im out and about i want to still be reached. The playbook makes it really simple and takes care of everything i want. Even things like sliding sync are setup with one line added to the config. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
This is a reasonable response if you look at this situation in a vacuum. But sadly the open source community got burned a bunch of times already by big private corps. Of course they dont destroy all open source. If it helps them they actually help develop it and only try to overtake it in the democratic sense to gain the most voting and controlling power. But Facebook is absolutely not in a benefit of the doubt situation. They need to show a hell of a lot of good faith and need to be a tiny enough fraction of the userbase in the fediverse to be trusted in my opinion.
