| wxnzemof | Hello, I think there is a problem with the new #users:nixos.org room. I see the room was upgraded, but I can't join the new instance. I get: "MatrixError: [403] You are not invited to this room. (https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/join/%23users%3Anixos.org)" | 06:38:04 |
 uep | wxnzemof: will invite you, sec. there are temporary restrictions due to a wave of spambots | 06:40:02 |
 @emma:rory.gay | MADS for users that arent on their own homeserver
draupnir+http-synapse-antispam (+maybe MADS) for those that are on their own homeserver and want to enforce it for all users on the server | 06:40:55 |
| wxnzemof | Thank you, for what it's worth it was not obvious what happened. Perhaps the room's description could mention this somewhere. | 06:40:57 |
| wxnzemof | and/or a note on https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Matrix :) | 06:42:22 |

and/or a note on https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Matrix :) feel free to add it yourself! | 07:11:27 |
| Winter | wiki is user editable :) | 07:11:34 |
| wxnzemof | Was hoping that someone with a better understanding of the situation could do that :) | 07:12:13 |
| Winter | fair :) | 07:13:22 |
| uep | i have been (mildly) reluctant to do something like that. In part not to draw attention of the spammers, either to reward them as getting attention, or to give them hints about bypassing the meager controls we have in matrix. | 07:21:23 |
| uep | The longer it goes on, the more users are impacted and the less I think that's worthwhile though | 07:21:48 |
 KFears (they/them) | It might be time to migrate to Zulip tbqh | 07:22:42 |
| KFears (they/them) | Eternally suffering from CSAM spam with barely any protections against it is very unfun | 07:24:30 |

I sure wont be following May I ask, why? | 08:31:13 |
| @jh-devv:matrix.org | But yeah, MADS is nice for now | 08:31:46 |
| @emma:rory.gay | i use matrix so i dont have to deal with other platforms, moving to zulip would be quite the opposite of that | 08:32:08 |

Many thanks to the mod team working on this issue the past few weeks and the NixOS community at large for this awesome community and distro ❤️ Yeah. Especially with all the mental health drain from this | 08:32:37 |
| uep | NGL, a 12-day weekend with mostly no useable cellular data throughput was.. needed | 08:36:39 |

 @joepie91:pixie.town | tangential, but I get kind of annoyed by comments along the lines of "let's migrate to <other platform>", as if that is a trivial thing to do with minimal consequences (which it isn't, and the constant floating of the idea does not help the sense of community stability either). doubly so when the current platform is one that we do actually have some degree of control over, like is the case with Matrix.
like, we can keep platform-hopping forever, tearing apart what's left of the community at every step, hoping that we'll eventually land on some platform from some company that somehow is prepared to do anything we need for us forever on a budget of "none"... or, more realistically, we could acknowledge that our community is ultimately ours to run and support, and that "everybody putting in their part to make it work" is the sustainable way forward, rather than expecting others to do it for us.

 ShamrockLee (Yueh-Shun Li) | The Element Android app turns out to be unable to reject room invitation. | 10:35:38 |
| @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org | it for sure is, more likely a bug with your HS? | 10:36:05 |
