Matrix has at least two excellent commandline clients fwiw; https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix (written in contemporary python) which even supports full E2E encryption, complete with things like emoji-based key verification; and https://github.com/tulir/gomuks https://github.com/tulir/gomuks (written in Go, as the name implies). And you can bridge to Discord with pretty good parity via https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord. So open options do exist :)
- gsich 7y agoBridges suck. You have to have someone who is constantly monitoring it.
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y agoOr just build an automated tool that watches it. That's not too hard- I've done it in Python under Linux before: gitter <-> IRC <-> Discord It wasn't very difficult- you just need to do something like a keep-alive ping (which can be hidden in an invisible Discord channel) if you're having problems with your bridge.
- gsich 7y agoThat's what I meant with "constantly monitoring". If for some reason it fails you need someone to fix it, maybe it's not fixable due to changes from either provider ... All that makes using bridges unreliable as you don't know if your messages was received by the other end.
