As the title says I have launched a public matrix server called GateRealm named after StarGate the show. Right now we are fully operational but since this is my first public server I am taking it slow. Are goal is to be a listed public instance for now we are unlisted everything works email verification is required as is captcha.
Things are still rapidly changing and may notice inconsistent uptime I mean a restart maybe a couple times a day just changing a few things here and there. You are welcome to try it and give feedback thank you. All restarts will occur only after 12:00AM CST.

Also because of this comment registration is temporary disabled while I disable rooms and spaces, and community’s so it will be messenger/group messages only. More limits may be imposed not sure yet still reading all the options in the docs. Also looking into other methods like disabling encryption on group chats if even possible to deter this.
I wanted to start a community, including a matrix server for chatting, but public signups cause some “undesirables” to sign up and when I finally figured out what rooms they joined and what they were posting (unencrypted) I had to nope out of the whole project over night. They seem to scan the federated network for public instances with open registrations and then do shit like this. It’s a shame but the only community effort I could see myself doing in the future would need to be friend-to-friend networks or invite only or something like that…
Yeah looking into all of this now I might move towards a invite only and keep groups community’s etc unencrypted and moderate them all. Or make community’s etc only allowed with admin approval. UPDATE: we are now invite only working on generating some invite codes if anyone is interested comment below.
This sounds more like a coordinated attack on matrix to ruin the system/ reputation/ joy
