To add to the above, there's not a reason to believe what happened affects the forum in any way.

If this is a US based company it is possible you get no response until Wednesday as Tuesday is a holiday and I know some places will give that Monday off as well.
Should of hosted the server in Sealand
So the Matrix is up, any more deets on the attack/downtime? Any user info compromised?
Oh great, they restarted the server without telling me. Wonderful.
Edit: Actually they did tell me, but I didn't realize that restarting would also turn the server on completely.

Down again. Abuse reports resumed. I'm going to be away again until sometime Wednesday/Thursday. I think I'll go through with a complete reinstall. It'll wipe the data, but be certain to purge any threats. I'm kind of happy with that; now that I more or less understand how Matrix works I'd like to start from scratch and build a 2.0 server that's less barren and has a bit more focus.
I'll be bringing this back up sometime in the week. I've been dealing extensively with other things since I got back. In particular, the roughly ten pounds of blackcurrents I harvested off my bush a week ago, every single one of which needs to be hulled individually and by hand before they start to rot, so I can make jam. Mmmm, jam.
Such is the dichotomy of a busy site manager.

There's an intriguing reason why 99.9% of Americans have never tasted blackcurrant but Europeans love it
Blackcurrants are popular in Europe but were banned in America in the early 1900s because they spread a fungus that kills white pine trees.

Finally got my own server up and running last week. Didn't manage to get the full array of services up and running, but have chat going. File uploads are weird from mobile Element clients, only compressed photos are working for some reason. Need to fix that at some point. At least everything works in browser.
The promised rage post fizzled out. Basic gist is that if you don't want to touch Vector or Google services you need to host your own Client (e.g Element), Matrix Homeserver (e.g Synapse), Integrations Server (e.g Dimension), Identity Server if you require it (e.g Sydent), Push Gateway if you require it (e.g Sygnal), either disable rageshake + analytics or self-host them, and finally you also need to host Jitsi. Even doing that you probably won't be able to avoid touching Vector and Google at least a little bit if you're trying to onboard non-tech-savvy family. Since, from what I remember, the Element mobile application in both iOS and Android forms default to using services from those companies in any event that it can't reach said services hosted on the homeserver you're connected to.
The following essay https://gitlab.com/libremonde-org/papers/research/privacy-matrix.org/-/blob/master/part1/README.md lists shit out far better than I could. It was originally written back in 2020 or so, but most of the issues listed still apply.
lmao, just double checked some of the issues I was raging about last month and it looks like three years after figuring out how to not kill the client by default when it can't phone home on startup, they're finally implementing it. (https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/11655#issuecomment-646065432 and https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/pull/25682).
Fuck you, I want some black current jam now.

Sometime this weekend I'm going to have to sign up for your server. I missed the first round. Maybe try out Cinny and see if it's less shit than Element.

Look for the + button (or whatever it looks like on your client) for "add rooms/spaces" and then explore public rooms.
