Just cooled down after sauna (after gym) outside lying on a deck chair under the (city, but still) night sky.
And had to think of the expression "Being sky-clad is a privilege, not a rite." I learnt that expression some 25 years ago when I saw it in someone's historic equivalent in IRC of what now is called a status message. My English was a lot worse back then than it is today, and that person explained the different layers of the expression (that "sky-clad" means nude, that it is a based on "is a privilege, not a right", and that it was apparently the motto of some cult that had a ceremony that involved dancing naked outside).
Where are the people who used to hang out on IRC today? Are they here in the Fediverse by any chance?

No matter your morals and ethical values, If you need to have any type of conversation that you think might get you in legal trouble, do not have this conversation in a public forum. Use #matrix if you have to, and even then you’d still need to worry large group chats which may have some undercover agent.
And if you really concerned about “censorship”, then ActivityPub is not for you. Go join forces with the bitcoiners and use #nostr.

I believe I have the media_store configured corrected as I can post images in my own channels, however I get Error 500 while attempting to upload a...
That’s very normal regarding the crash trying to join #matrix:matrix.org. You need much higher specs and need to be using Postgres database, MySQL probably won’t handle it.
Can you post a sanitized version of your homeserver.yaml so we can take a look at your config?

This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:...
