XMPP Chat Room changed settings by itself?

The chatroom was digdeeper at conference.riseup.net. I was owner there (name - you guessed it - digdeeper) and suddenly I was kicked out and another guy became owner. The settings changed so that OMEMO doesn't work (JIDs are not being retrieved). I can't use /config command to change it back because I'm not owner. What has happened and can it be fixed? The guy is away and not replying BTW.

Ugh, I accidentally posted in the wrong section. Must have pressed some key...

Okay, I've solved this. The chatroom just died for a minute or so and when it came back, the first guy that got in was made the owner. The fix is to make it "persistent" - but I don't think deleting the settings altogether should be the default (and did not guess that it would work this way)

Hi,

We have been rebooting some services for security updates, I bet that's what happened here.
