I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.

My first thought as well. “Weird they were allowing it before…”

I think the point they’re making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I’m pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)

Maybe that’s the 3D chess move that orange man did when he appointed RFK

Off topic: how do you like simplex. I have heard of it, but you’re the first I’ve encountered who used it.
