cwebber2: hey, do you mind if I set up a matrix bridge?
#
nightpool
i keep missing messages because irssi doesn't support desktop notifications or an unread indicator for s o m e r e a s o n
#
nightpool
and so i'd like to reduce my platform-count by one, because i use matrix for most of the rest of my mastodon communication
#
cwebber2
nightpool: fine by me
#

Have been thinking the same. For FreeNode I've already migrated to Matrix

nightpool, cwebber2, jaywink I talk with many people on freenode who use matrix and there are disconnections and missed messages often, I hear such things all the time. Maybe w3c irc is different though? due to being smaller than freenode
#
fr33domlover
It would be nice if freenode could collaborate with matrix on simulating the user list or something like that, idk
#
fr33domlover
so that matrix didn't have to keep a separate client connection for each user

fr33domlover: my understanding is that most of the problems are due to matrix running a single centralized irc bridge service that has problems with load.
#
nightpool
i'll be running my own instance because i need to be able to point it to this server
#
fr33domlover
nightpool, yeah it's probably the single instance being huge
