Hosting FOSDEM 2022 on Matrix

https://matrix.org/blog/2022/02/07/hosting-fosdem-2022-on-matrix

#FOSDEM was pretty epic again, even though online again! The best thing has to be this:

"The real eye-opener however is that of the 13K joined users, only 4K came came from the FOSDEM attendee server, and 1K from Libera Chat, meaning that ~70% of the Matrix participants were already on Matrix and came in from existing servers! 🤯 That means the vast majority of people attended over federation. Decentralisation at work, people! It works! We didn’t host the conference… you did!!"

#Decentralized comms at work, yay!

Andreas auf Twitter: "The face when I see that there's a web3 Track at #FOSDEM I understand the process why the @fosdem organizers allowed that track as it's mostly light tough. But boy, do I wish they would have put a foot down and said there's no space for Scammers and Grifters at #FOSDEM https://t.co/ctQ24z1Q77" / Twitter

yep, I thought the same!
