@sendpaws @ar @49016 @sophie @adiz zulip topics are more organic. you just set the subject field of a message to something else, and its done. you don't need permission to create a channel and various people can just edit subjects as a moderator action

so you don't need server privs to create a room for a topic. and you can just move OT stuff to the correct topic, instead of screaming that everyone shut up (room shutdown.)
