	''' ''In a ~~few days~~, ~~your account~~ on riot.hope.net ~~won't be accessible~~. ~~You~~ will ~~lose total access to~~ that ~~account. If you want~~ to ~~keep using~~ Matrix (and ~~you should~~) you ~~will have~~ to migrate your account to ~~another~~ homeserver.~~''' ''~~		'''The hope.net Matrix server will be shut down''' a while after the conference ends. When this happens, all accounts, rooms, and communities on riot.hope.net/matrix.hope.net will disappear.
			Before that happens, be sure to:
			* Make contact with your new friends outside Matrix, or with accounts (both you and them!) not on hope.net:
			* Create a new Matrix account on another homeserver, for example https://chat.fairydust.space/ or https://riot.privacytools.io/
			* If you want to, [https://ems.element.io/tools/matrix-migration\| migrate your account] from hope.net to your new homeserver
			** Your old homeserver would be matrix.hope.net, and your new one would be e.g. matrix.fairydust.space
			** For best results, sign out of both accounts while it runs - Make sure you wrote down your encryption key before signing out!
			* Join #afterhope2020:fairydust.space to keep chatting
			* If you have any problems, ask in the tech support channel!

	~~First, make an account at either [https://chat.fairydust.space/ fairydust] or [https~~:~~//riot.privacytools.io/ privacytools.io]. After your~~ new account ~~is set up you can use this migration tool~~ to ~~migrate~~ your ~~current account to another Matrix homeserver: [https://ems.element~~.~~io/tools/matrix-migration Matrix migration tool] Be sure to LOG OUT of your account and all sessions before doing this! And remember~~, ~~join #after2020:hope.net and its remote link, #after2020:fairydust~~.~~space after this server shuts down!~~		Note: Your new account will not be able to authenticate with CoreBot, since your ticket has already been used. This doesn't really matter, since the attendee channels will be locked soon (if they aren't already).
