So, does this merge support:

  1. hiding read receipts for anyone in a specific room
  2. hiding the display of read receipts from other users in the room, or
  3. hiding your read receipts from being sent to others in the same room?

I'm running 1.59.7 (obviously after this merge was accepted) and I still don't see any way of avoiding having read receipts hidden in clients using rooms on my Synapse server.

This MSC adds support for sending private (previously hidden) read receipts to the server which won't get sent over to other clients, so it will look as if you did not read the message of the other users. From the end-user perspective, this essentially allows you to disable read receipts.

There are a few clients that support this such as Element Web/Desktop where this feature is hidden behind a labs option as it is still considered unstable (the MSC isn't merged yet)

I cannot find this in the labs section how can I enable it? I'd like to test it. Thanks! :)
