Honest question: when registering for those bridges is it just as simple as putting in your username/password or do you have to do other gyrations to make it work? Do you have to upgrade continually to avoid the services playing whack-a-mole with your bridges?
I ask because I’d like to set up Matrix bridges like that locally, but if I have to create a Discord bot account or fish out an API key then that’s asking a bit much.
- 3np 5y agoIt depends on the bridge and protocol. IRC is as straightforward as any other IRC client. WhatsApp needs to run an actual WhatsApp client so you'll need an online iOS/Android device or run it a VM or emulator. Not sure about Discord. EDIT: If you can do without Discord DMs, you don't even need to run the bridge yourself or supply discord credentials - just invite a bot to a discord server if it isn't already https://t2bot.io/discord/ https://t2bot.io/discord/ (Obviously if you're concerned of privacy you wouldn't be having those conversations on Discord in the first place)
