Spaces
Rooms several people write into, how a private one is opened and closed, and what an invite link can and cannot do.
What a space is
A space is a room that several people write into. Your own surfaces — the Observatory and your garden — are yours alone; a space is the one place on sizuq where writing is gathered by subject rather than by author.
You publish into a space by choosing it in the Details card while you write. Everything else about the drop works the same way: it is still yours, still went through its Reflection, and still lives at its own address.
SpacesPublic and private
| Public space | Private space | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can join | Anyone signed in | Only someone holding a working invite link |
| Is the address enough | Yes | No — knowing the address does not let you in |
| Who opens it | It is open | The person who created it |
A private space with no invite link is closed. Not hidden — closed. Nobody new can join it at all until its creator generates a link, however they arrived at the address.
Invite links
The creator of a private space can open it with a link, and close it again. There is only ever one working link at a time, which is what makes revoking possible.
- Generate link — the space can now be joined by anyone holding it.
- Copy it and send it to the people you want in the room.
- Rotate link — a new link starts working and the old one stops, immediately.
- Disable — no link works, and nobody new can join.
Leaving
You can leave a space at any time, and rejoin later on the same terms as anyone else — which for a private space means you need a working link again.
Drops you published into a space stay where they are when you leave. They remain your writing, at their own address, and on your own surfaces.
