Can we talk about matrix.org ? about meta HOT 3 OPEN

Changing instance and praying for not being shadowbanned again ?

First and foremost, this issue is not a shadowban. Shadowban means it's intended. It's not; other reputable, long standing Matrix homeserver admins have also reported the issue both to New Vector Ltd and amongst themselves and found it to be an issue with how New Vector Ltd has set up their matrix.org Cloudflare Web Application Firewall. Further, messages can get through, but they can be delayed. Historically their infrastructure has had issues which is part of what led to their provided LiberaChat bridge being shutdown

Defederate from matrix.org ?

Can we discuss a consensus on this ?

As of last week the homeservers experiencing the issue have escalated it to an entity above New Vector Ltd in an attempt to close out this issue.

Personally, I recommend other users switching to another homeserver besides Matrix.org. I don't think it makes sense to defederate from Matrix.org as messages can still get through nor does it make sense to use accounts on the homeserver causing the issue for multiple other homeservers

Is there a public discussion thread of this? I want to track the progress.
