Here is my suggestion: fellow Matrix proponents, let's turn off the
IRC bridge ASAP. All we've accomplished by running the IRC bridge is
convincing GNOME devs that Matrix is awful. I'm pretty sure that all
of this negative feedback is about the IRC bridge.
OK, my main complaint is already resolved: I've tested and verified
that proper errors are returned when I try to message an IRC user who
is offline.
My suggestion to shut down the bridge was based on an incorrect
assumption that it was unmaintained and not a priority to fix. We're
currently working with Matthew to resolve several additional quality
issues with the bridge, including an issue where Matrix users are
disconnected from IRC rooms but don't notice because they continue to
receive updates in Matrix, and a bridging problem that's specific to
the #gnome room. Hopefully we can solve these and keep the bridge
running, so that Matrix and IRC users can continue to participate in
one unified community without feeling pressured to switch from one to
the other. (Of course, even nicer if you join the Matrix side of
things, so you can talk directly to our federated friends at
Mozilla/KDE/Igalia/Purism as well as to IRC users, but with a bridge
that's working properly, that would of course remain optional. :)
