Update
Zooming out made an error message visible over the name field when the cursor looped back. The message: “Please match the requested format. lowercase, underscores, and no spaces.”
I zoom in so that I can read a large external monitor at 3m/10’, HDMI out from Android.
The format of my chosen name was abceFghij and the capital was causing the error. Though there are other community names with capitalization, it won’t fly in this case.
Thanks for following along.
Just before this post was made?
I oughta know. I did two tours there back in the 60s.

If there’s a strain of it that applies to large things that would eat me, I’d believe that I have the phobia.
I sometimes have what’s maybe a primordial reaction to large things. Saw a stuffed polar bear when I was a child. It was supposed to be a record size. I don’t recall exactly, but it was 10 or 11’ tall, stood up on its hind legs.
Now, I knew that it wasn’t alive. But it still unsettled me in a strange and powerful way.
Fear of getting into the wrong part of the food chain, I spoze.
The size of that bird. It would not likely have been a pleasant beast for a human to encounter.
Proper backup protocol raises HW requirements. But if you want to do something right, it’s just the cost of doing business. There’s the old saw, “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it again?” But there may not be an opportunity to do this one over.
I foresee moneyed interests working steadily, diligently, relentlessly (with paid labor!) to help this entire effort fail. The success of this concept represents the loss of inestimable billions to today’s dominant platforms. Those corporations will, as always, work hard toward their self interests.
I’ve been out of this loop for decades, but can see a train wreck if this vulnerability isn’t addressed.
Matrix says, “The functionality that Matrix provides includes: Creation and management of fully distributed chat rooms with no single points of control or failure…”
I don’t know what ‘fully distributed’ means. But one potential way of securing everything might be through something like torrenting. Have all Instances on several servers, such that the loss of a single server or Instance couldn’t wipe out a community. If that happens more than a few times, I could see federating setback considerably.
That’s my two cents, and I’ll leave it to the smarter and more capable folks to resolve.
Thank you for the insight.
This was represented as a chain locker where I appropriated it. I saw the shackles, but not knowing the first thing about maritime operations, stuck with what I read.
You think this is a cargo hold?
And somehow be redundant/mirrored/backed up. Hacks, crashes, instance owner gets pissed, decides to take their sandbox and everything in it. Lots of ways and reasons that communities wlll disappear and a way to recover might be helpful.
Thank you.
