Defenders
- Do we need to add Launchpad group for defenders?
- This is not needed, defenders don’t need to be verifiable by Launchpad, as their primary goal is to fight spam and trolls. Defenders will not intervene in moderation and will never ask room admins for special permissions.
- Defenders are listed in the governance document
- Operators and Matrix Council can double check defenders by looking at the people in the management room
IRC bridging
- Testing going well and will be done in 2 weeks
- We pinged libera.chat for updates, waiting for their reply
Rooms from the :libera.chat Matrix homeserver
- libera.chat Matrix homeserver was deleted, and with it, the admin accounts that were managing rooms on the server.
- Rooms that are left alive are so because they were copied in other homeservers. If we have no admins in the rooms, we should just set tombstone events and create new rooms.
- If tombstone cannot be set, we need to send manual messages and ask people to join newly created rooms on the Ubuntu Matrix homeserver.
