The explanation seems a bit vague. What were the concrete issues at hand?

  just read - sounds like some complaints from the libera chat side that are too much to fix (?) at the moment.. I'd like to see a post from libera about what they expect someone to do if they take the bridge and take it further to work on other servers.. I still dream of a trillium (sp?) manychat kind of thing that can bridge all things... I get that some want to prevent that - and others even if they want interoperability may have debates about how things should be implemented for various reasons. maybe libera can make a bridge with options and defaults that make most people happy.. but a user of libera myself, but I want an all things work together future - I get that tech stuff can be hard, even without those who want walled gardens and barriers. - fingers crossed for more options in the future instead of less.

    There was such a post from libera months ago.

  Just a theory: Libera.Chat staff that used to work at Element departed the company due to budget cuts. In combination with the budget cuts' wider effects on the matrix ecosystem, this meant there was little if any hope the issues with the bridge would get fixed.

    There were Libera.Chat staff working at EMS???

      Element employed quite a few IRC folk until the recent budget cuts. My experience as IRC client dev was actually what got me hired. (though I also departed Element during the latest round of budget cuts)
