I’m pretty sure one gets at least a notification in the GIMPNet IRC Bridge status conversation that goes along the lines of: Received an error on irc.gimp.org: err_nosuchnick ["AlexandreFranke","someircnick","No such nick/channel"] At least I did a couple weeks ago when I tried to send a message to an IRC user. I would then agree that it is far from ideal, but it would also clearly not as dramatic as you paint it. > Personally, I think native Matrix would be a *lot* nicer than IRC, if > we have sysadmin time to get it set up, but I'm not going to be picky > here.
