No, that's not even remotely true. In fact the opposite is true. The domain name of the server used to create the room is perpetually and permanently embedded in the room name and can't be changed, ever.
- foresto 11mo agoI think their point is that the room doesn't depend on that server's continued availability.
- BrenBarn 11mo agoThat doesn't have any practical effect, though. It's just part of the name and the room can still be used even if that server disappears forever.
- octoberfranklin 11mo agoNo, not at all. Posession of a CA-signed TLS certificate for that domain, and the corresponding private key, is basically the root of trust for room operations.
