Anyone can, few do. At least in terms of what I see on the 20 IRC networks I'm connected to. The only one where people actually tend to run their own Matrix servers is on OFTC with the Freedombox (https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox) people. On Freenode I don't think I have ever seen someone connect from a Matrix server that wasn't riot.im since the creation of the Matrix protocol.
- Arathorn 7y agoHow would you even know, though? When running personal bridges I just have them auth as my normal user account like a bouncer. Or are you looking at CTCP versions?
- superkuh 7y agoThe 'Real Name' field shows where they're proxying in from. Like the normal riot.im "@username:matrix.org" or self-hosted "@username:theirserver.address.tld". Is this an option that isn't the default for most matrix bridges/clients/whatever? I guess if it doesn't show in their realname field I wouldn't see it. But I imagine since the defaults seems to be what I described above the amount of users that turned that off will be fairly small and irrelevant.
