IRC-bridged Matrix rooms kick idle members

[AndrewKvalheim]

The Libera.​Chat IRC bridge automatically kicks idle members out of our Matrix rooms. SeaGL is particularly affected due to our seasonal usage pattern.

Possible solutions:

• Change the behavior of the public Libera.​Chat bridge
• Run our own bridge without this behavior
• Un-bridge all of our rooms except for a dedicated bridged room

Going through restricted / staff channels that are bridged and decoupling them.

Still need to decide on solution for public facing ones.

For now we’re trying this option:

• Un-bridge all of our rooms except for a dedicated bridged room

The dedicated room is #irc:seagl.org.

The affected bridge no longer exists.
