The problem is that bridging to existing IRC channels severely dilutes one of the main appeals of Matrix - being more welcoming to new users familiar with modern chat system norms. We could still make it a bit easier for people to join some of our chats initially, but a lot of IRC gumph is still *there* affecting you when you just use Matrix-bridged- to-IRC. Like rooms requiring you to be authed, so you need to register with nickserv (plus you *also* have to learn how to talk to nickserv over Matrix. Of course, it also limits the extent to which the more modern features of the system can be used. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
