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.

Are public support channel: [#support:matrix.gaterealm.com ](Hey, join this room on https://matrix.to/#/%23support%3Amatrix.gaterealm.com)

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.
