The argument tom made for this is aliases aren't permanent so then it's not a permalink

Look at element-hq/element-web#6909 for my thoughts on a UX that doesn't conflate the concepts

Not really sure how to categorise this one - I suspect @ara4n and I should have a chat

the fact that the room share UX generates links that simply don't work over federation is a monumental fail - much worse than the fact that the alias might one day get routed somewhere else :/

Note: in the temporary solution for element-hq/element-web#2925 this will naturally get fixed as well. Adding to FiP so I don't forget about it.

Closing as URLs are joinable with matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#2250 although a better solution would be to use element-hq/element-web#2925

Please re-open if I've mistakenly closed.

the real problem here is that when sharing a room you rarely want to link to a specific version using an ugly room ID and via headers - instead you want to share the address it’s currently known by. Yes, the alias could be moved in future, but then again so can DNS be repointed or URLs get recycled on the normal web; this is no different. We should prioritise for UX over theoretical elegance. I think tom was wrong, and we should share by canonical alias (or failing that an arbitrary alias) rather than ugly id+vias.
