Anyone with the room link/invite link can view all the messages

Please add private messages options and the link leading to the chat must be much shorter than 90 days, everyone clicking on the link can have messages that were written, what is not. There must also be an option to close the chat so that the link becomes inactive and the messages disappear from the server and no one can read them

Hi @meridia15

Only people with the invite link can view the messages; privacy stems from that. But you're right that there should be some option aside from the default of messages living for 90 days; maybe I'll add more options.

The current plan is to add a "Nuke Room" button that anyone with the invite link can press to delete all the messages and the room containing them. How does that sound?

Relatedly, messages can now be deleted! So if an attacker comes by later and somehow finds an invite link, they can't view the messages in the room if you've deleted them, whereas before you had to hope that 90 days had passed, which I agree was not ideal.
