 acxz | hello! | 21:11:33 |
| acxz | the gitter channel in bridged to slack from what I understand | 21:11:50 |
| acxz | although they were having trouble the other day with the slack bridge | 21:12:03 |
| acxz | the zulip bridge works over there as well | 21:12:13 |
 &Adam | Ya. But the gitter bridge is uuuuugly compared to slack. | 21:12:16 |
| acxz | what do you mean? | 21:12:30 |
| &Adam | compared to the direct slack-matrix bridge that is. | 21:12:31 |
| acxz | ah kk | 21:12:42 |
| &Adam | This is all in reference to the twitter thread over on Viral's twitter page about problems with slack. | 21:13:14 |
 Daniel Lakeland | I feel an Xzibit meme coming on... | 21:13:27 |
| acxz | yeah this room isn't used a lot, compared to the gitter room since this is matrix only and no one has bridged any services to it, while the gitter room has like 3 or 4 bridges | 21:13:30 |
| &Adam | I was agitating for matrix as a replacement with the option of setting up the matrix-slack bridge to let people try it out, but mose said there was already one bridged. | 21:14:02 |
| acxz | lol | 21:14:23 |
| acxz | yeah a bridge that doesnt really work afaik | 21:14:34 |
| &Adam | The gitter-matrix bridge works fine. And the gitter-slack bridge just seems to poop out every couple months and need a couple kicks from oxinabox. | 21:15:24 |
| &Adam | One thing that would help this room's discoverability is if somebody on the matrix.org homeserver could add an alias to it. Possibly #julia:matrix.org? | 21:15:55 |
| acxz | why would u want that? | 21:16:28 |
| acxz | that would just split the community further imo | 21:16:37 |
| acxz | fix the current problems and argue more with mose than starting a faction | 21:16:54 |
| &Adam | meh. I'm on matrix anyway. Would be happy to chat with Julia people here regardless of whether it's the main bunch or a faction. | 21:17:45 |
| Daniel Lakeland | As someone who's new to matrix, I really don't understand which room is which and how they're connected, it seems very nebulous to me, so I just subscribed to this room, and also julialang/julia | 21:17:48 |
| &Adam | #gitter_julialang=2Fjulia:matrix.org is a portal room that's automatically created by the matrix.org homeserver's gitter bridge so that matrix users can join any gitter room. This room is just a plain matrix room bridged nowhere that was manually created by somebody. | 21:18:39 |
| acxz | i guess yeah we free to do what we want.
Daniel Lakeland lol yeah im in both as well | 21:18:58 |
| Daniel Lakeland | Here's my question, is there somewhere that I can see what's up in the julia slack from matrix? | 21:20:22 |
| acxz | you can see that from the matrix room that is bridged with gitter, not this one. | 21:20:56 |
| acxz | since the gitter itself is bridged with slack and zulip | 21:21:16 |
| &Adam | In reply to @1awtumleef:matrix.org
you can see that from the matrix room that is bridged with gitter, not this one. Note that this is only for the one specific slack room that has the bridge setup in it. It's not a very active slack room compared to others. | 21:22:48 |
 mortenpi | should we just bridge this to Slack's #general-bridged and make this the definitive Julia room on Matrix? | 21:29:08 |
| acxz | Is the general-bridged the slack channel? | 21:30:38 |
| mortenpi | slack has #general and #general-bridged, and the latter one is bridged | 21:31:11 |
