Timeline - Report Content

[stefanceriu]

As an user I should be able to report malicious messages so that we can all have nice conversations

• Message contextual report action
• A way to specify the reason
• Explain to the user what's happening when they report content
• Give a visual feedback when the content has been sent successfully
• Do not propose to report content for current user's own messages

• Explain to the user what's happening when they report content
• Give a visual feedback when the content has been sent successfully

We need design and copies for these two

In terms of the Rust code required for this, it should be as easy adding a method to this impl block (and importing matrix_sdk::ruma::api::client::room::report_content at the top of the file) that calls

RUNTIME.block_on(async move {
    self.room.client().send(report_content::v3::Request::new(/* ... */), None).await?;
    Ok(())
})

The function will have to return Result<()> like others in that impl block so a failure to send the request can be detected. Also the method needs to be added to api.udl.

Will split this in two PRs:

In the first one we will only add the repot content functionality as it is also currently available on El-iOS, here it is:
#587
Which addresses:

• Message contextual report action
• A way to specify the reason
• Do not propose to report content for current user's own messages

In the next one, once the designs are available we will add these two extra features:

• Explain to the user what's happening when they report content
• Give a visual feedback when the content has been sent successfully
