Description

During beta, channels are owned by their creating browser fingerprint which can terminate/lock them. Since we have no user authentication this is quite ephemeral to the same session and assuming all rooms will be wiped when the last participant leaves. A potential idea is to add an option for rooms to be self governed by the current majority using a quoroom approach - where the mob can act as an admin effectively. An organized anarchy?

  • force-muting or kicking out someone? vote.
  • renaming or terminating the channel? vote.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how channel ownership, browser fingerprints, and the listed admin actions currently work, then clarify the voting rules for force-muting, kicking, renaming, and termination. Done requires an agreed quoroom design and tests covering majority decisions and the last-participant case.
