@prettygood No idea, we stopped looking into conduit after we got harassed by the developers (of Conduit and all the forks too)

@prettygood but then again if it wouldn't reject invalid stuff in the auth DAG then homeservers could forge things. Hmm. There's an old keys field for migrating keys... We'd need to inspect the returned key format. But best would be to save your private keys and migrate them over to your new server software.

@prettygood

Well, the impact of the homeserver keys changing is implementation defined

You might trigger synapse bugs, but other than that, things should generally work fine. Probably.

Ofc keeping the keys and only throwing away the database would be best. Aka, migrating the keys. Specifically, the identity public keys.

I don't know what backfill will do with events with differing keys. Your HS *shouldn't* really be rejecting them or the auth DAG might break, but :thread:1/

@hellomiakoda I- I don't get it

We really need some (online fine too) hugs and affection rn, waiting on airport, nobody cares about us even online...

Ghosts in a haunted house aren't physically stuck there, they just have severe social anxiety from going outside :(

@kaia 38C3 is torture cuz of this, so many hot girls...

@hellomiakoda Oh the fun part about it is that they mix and match plural and singular verbs and nouns :) We need to find a Czech enby to study the exact pattern because that is so incredibly fascinating for us

We should say though, language's grammar is often very detached from its semantics - for us it was also weird when we learned English, but, language is fluid like this, it gets hot patches :P

@hellomiakoda Grammatically it's a plural but semantically it's singular :P That's why it's called "singular they". In English, a lot of things have to be inferred from context, and grammar is not necessarily reflective of semantics.

You'd be utterly terrified at what folks do in our native language. They made "they" into an actual grammatical singular, so they use the equivalent of "they is"
