    What is this bridge you speak of? I’m intrigued. Does matrix have a functionality that lets you run a mirror of a discord channel?

      Yes exactly. The bridge logs into the discord server as a user. Then it mirrors all chats from your user in matrix to the discord.

      Oh matrix, every user on the connected server gets a user whose name is their snowflake. Those virtual users post into the matrix server whatever their respective discord users posts.
