filter users to see only real and local matrix users

[nebocamin]

hi, we have a matrix server with enabled bridges and i would like to see only the real matrix users between all those bridge-ghosts. i can search vor signal, whatsapp or telegram, but not for my real "customers". can this enhancement possibly be made? thanks.

This is a missing upstream feature at the moment.
matrix-org/synapse#11202

extending the search functionality by having an exclude term and logical operators would do a decent job, too. Only for this admin GUI, though.

example:

a_search_term & not_in('signal', 'telegram', 'slack', 'whatsapp')

hmmm....

The filtering could be done on the client side, even if it's slower.

The search API of synapse currently does not allow "negative" search terms. So we cannot exclude those users in the client.

You can ask the server for a list of everyone and then filter the list the server returns to only include real people

Upstream issue: matrix-org/synapse#11609

You can make their user type into bot and filter all bots: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.88/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#list-accounts

But that would necessitate manually adding the bot type initially.
