They provide a +channel whereby server administrators can send messages to users on the server. + +They are used as part of communication of the server policies (see ``docs/consent_tracking.md``), +however the intention is that they may also find a use for features such +as "Message of the day". + +This feature is specific to Synapse, but uses standard Matrix communication mechanisms, +so should work with any Matrix client.
