What happened and what’s next

pendora.io’s database was destroyed.

By the spam, the bots.
By the migration from conduit to conduwuit, and conduwuit to tuwunel.
By the lack of experience.
By the lack of backups.

From now on, I would like to keep the server small.
There are worse people everywhere, consistently scanning the server, creating spam, and joining CSAM material rooms. It’s part of being human.
From now on, anyone who would like to sign up will have to jump through some hoops to get that registration token.
Yes, you have to work to get that registration token. There are servers that don’t care, there are servers that just allow you to sign up. But sorry, not my server.

I’ll leave the how-to join pendora.io somewhere here.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
