I wouldn’t worry about that at this time, I suspect it will be idlers who just are not at their keyboard / monitoring the channel and have not seen the drama, I suspect if you did a kick / clear on the freenode channel you’d get a similar number / slightly higher number than is now on Libera, the higher number would be by people who have auto join / reconnect in their client

At this point the Matrix bridge is in testing. In practice most people who are active have moved over. I think it’s time to make this official.

I agree, let’s get people moving! 
At the moment I have it integrated with a matrix room.
I wanted to integrate with our legacy room but received the following error message:
Failed to make link: This room has 105 users, but the maximum for a bridged room is 100.
I’d say we’re in early days. Will try again later.
Making a note to ourselves, we’ll need to go in and either switch our Jenkins jobs to publish to the new channels or to both channels for some period of time.

Jenkins can only be configured to connect to a single IRC server. I’ve now switched this over.

The bridge is in place, but very unreliable.
Will talk with the matrix folks and try and improve this.
Saw your tweet, have you managed to get us to 200+ tier?
I am meeting with Element/Matrix folks!
This is not a bug, it’s by design, but disconnecting from Freenode made us go under 100.
However, disconnecting and reconnecting to another bridge caused an error.
Pulp had no Matrix room, so it was a clean setup, so easier.
Will report back ASAP
After meeting with the Element guy, I have written to support@matrix.org to help with this.
The bridges are WIP so a bit dodgy
One issue that Greg thinks might be the root cause is this Freenode IRC bot is still in our Matrix room: @appservice-irc:matrix.org
I’m not sure how to get rid of it.
Freenode has now started migrating new connections to a new network where we no longer have any control of the channels. If anyone is reading this and is still connected to freenode, please disconnect and come over to irc.libera.chat where the Foreman community is.
