-**Note:** Sadly, Conduwuit project has been abandoned by the current devs and archived. I do not want to get into the messy discussion that led to this decision as i don't care for anything but the technical aspect here. Conduwuit was the most promising Matrix server implementation available and this outcome let me annoyed and pissed. Trusting a Matrix server is critical because there is no real migration approach between them, and so "moving" to a new server is a serious business and not an easy task. I will take it as a lesson learnt, do not trust a project run by kiddos (not in the sense of age...) unable to cope with the stress of being under the spolights.+[[https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/|Continuwuity]] is a Matrix server written in RUST,  it is a fast developing but already well supported and stable, lightweight implementation of a Matrix server. It is the continuation of the now dead Conduwuit, which was a continuation of the now frozen Conduit.
  
-**TLDR:** Conduwuit is deprecated, the following instructions are left for historical reference only, **DO NOT FOLLOW**. +__Note:__ there is another fork of Conduwuit out there, it's called Tuwunnel. The reasons why i choose Continuwuity are: 
- +  * Fully community based projct (Tuwunnel is sponsored by a for-profit company) 
-[[https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/|Conduwuit]] is a Matrix server written in RUST,  it is a new, well supported, lightweight implementation of a Matrix server. I also tried Synapse, the classic Matrix server, but ended up with Conduwuit that proved itself more lightweight and much easier to implement and maintain.+  * Active community  
 +  * Fast response to tickets 
 +  * Very active development
