Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

I would like there to be a way to enable/disable sending read receipts in more specific cases (e.g. per-room, per-space, per-DMs, per-public...)

#### Why would you like to do it?

I am ok with people seeing my read receipts in some places and I am not ok with it in others

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Settings

### Have you considered any alternatives?

A per-room setting is the bear minimum - I don't want to change this manually for half of my ~200 rooms

### Additional context

Research direction

Start by reviewing the requested Settings behavior and the linked Element Web issue #14030. Trace how read receipts are currently configured across Element clients, then define supported scopes such as rooms, spaces, direct messages, and public rooms with clear acceptance criteria for each.
