@cwebber the killer feature for Matrix in my mind was the seamless bridging to libera (or originally freenode)
I used to laugh at the discord users with their janky-ass bridging systems that made all the discord-side nicks get funneled thru a single bot nick, breaking nick coloring, /ignore, and tab completion
and now the joke's on me because with the actually-good libera/matrix bridge dead, I've had to resort to the same thing for the channels I run
I probably never would have started a matrix channel in the first place if it hadn't been for the transparent bridging, and it feels super sketchy to introduce a feature to my community that breaks such an important safety feature as /ignore!!! but leaving the matrix chat orphaned and isolated, and never having moderators actually check it is even worse =(
