			| 2 | 2 |  title: Implementing message retention policies in Matrix
 | 
	
		
			
			| 3 |  | -description: As part of my work in the Matrix core team, I found myself implementing an actively requested feature, i.e. support for message retention policies, in Synapse (the reference Matrix homeserver implementation). In this post, I give you a peek at what the feature does, how it works, and how it's currently implemented in Synapse.
