What servers are my server talking to?

SELECT * FROM destinations;

What servers are currently participating in this room?

SELECT DISTINCT split_part(state_key, ':', 2)
    FROM current_state_events AS c
    INNER JOIN room_memberships AS m USING (room_id, event_id)
    WHERE room_id = '!cURbafjkfsMDVwdRDQ:matrix.org' AND membership = 'join';
