| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | i can cope with an invite to an illegal room like once every few months but it was multiple times today and the room avatars are illegal content and i'm just fed up with this shit | 16:29:12 |

 Sapphire | I had to disable room invite avatars. shame you can't just disable invites in general on element | 16:30:14 |
| Sapphire | at least I couldn't find it easily | 16:30:31 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | is that a client setting? | 16:30:30 |
| Sapphire | settings > preferences > room list | 16:30:46 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | i definitely don't have that on cinny | 16:30:47 |
 @emma:rory.gay | theres nothing i can currently share with you | 16:31:07 |
| Sapphire | * yep, settings > preferences > room list 'show avatars of rooms you have been invited to' | 16:31:14 |
| Yorusaka Miyabi | 🫣 | 16:32:05 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | are you involved in matrix governance? | 16:34:16 |
| @emma:rory.gay | outside of being an ecosystem member, no | 16:34:52 |
|  Dan joined the room. | 16:36:47 |
| @emma:rory.gay | but i have reasons for being insistent on the things i say when it comes to T&S on matrix, very good ones even | 16:39:23 |
| @emma:rory.gay | not that i can share them all, but i do have them | 16:40:20 |
 aktaboot | can i ask what the motivation behind the targeted attacks are? 👀 | 16:40:49 |
| @emma:rory.gay | hence why im all "no dont forward this there, its useless, they already know" etc | 16:40:51 |
 K900 | We don't know | 16:41:11 |
| @emma:rory.gay | thats somethign i dont have an answer to, but it just feels like an attempt to attack matrix as a whole, not just nixos :) | 16:41:19 |
| @emma:rory.gay | the "grim reaper going door to door" meme is very relevant | 16:41:45 |
| @emma:rory.gay | liv <3 just use the admin api to delete all media from your server | 16:42:38 |
| @emma:rory.gay | all cached media* | 16:42:48 |
| @emma:rory.gay | nixos is what, the 10th community so far that im aware of getting hit, in chronological order? if not more | 16:43:26 |

can i ask what the motivation behind the targeted attacks are? 👀 I'm not going to know about this in particular, but I can be sure Emma was right in saying it's indeed attack to Matrix itself | 16:43:47 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | @liv <3 https://matrix-community-help.codestorm.net/receiving-server-admin.html#1 | 16:43:47 |
 @joepie91:pixie.town | what I do know is that the attackers have been targetting robin riley specifically, likely for queerphobic reasons, but it's unknown whether that is the whole motivation | 16:44:00 |
