It was never the plan for this to be my life's work :)

I read you are mainly dealing with DDoS instability, but are running directly off Amazon AWS. What kind of DDoS? Have you considered putting the Rocket.Chat instance behind Cloudflare?

That ended up being what I did. It has really hampered usability for some users but the trade off may be worth it in lack of lag and less spammers/scammers.

Great to see it working! I have not experienced the service being unavailable since you added Cloudflare.

Were you perhaps looking for more people to help you operate and maintain steemit.chat? You noted this was not supposed to be your life's work, and @deltik (has rocket.chat experience) and I would be keen to get involved. We run the @gridcoin.science witness - first to operate on minimal hardware using zram memory compression as detailed here, technical overview here.

But you are doing an amazing job! Transfers are ok, but even with discord - steem.chat has currently no real alternative.
