In some of them, like the documentation group, it's possible for the channel to be flooded with only bot messages for months.

In comparison, we have 12 Matrix members, all of them active, of which 5 are only on Matrix and prefer it over Telegram. One of our Brazilian KDE developers is only on IRC.</div><div><br></div><div>Another thing to note is that I agree the current state of the bridge is NOT fine. The KDE Matrix Bridge bot gets kicked by the appservice bot too often, forcing me to re-add it, and it keeps sending join/leave notifications to the Telegram side, sometimes literally hundreds, flooding the channel. Our users have started to complain about it.<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>We can pursue an effort to move fully to Matrix as Filipe said, maybe even stage
some collaboration with a local homeserver (bolha.chat) for new accounts, or we can
stay only on Telegram due to popular demand.

Telegram is huge popular in Brazil. Our KDE Brasil group has now 608 <br>
members, and we have other KDE developers groups in Telegram related to <br>
Brazilian community.<br>
<br>
Maybe if we have a deadline, we can make efforts to migrate the groups <br>
to Matrix. But, if we can not do that properly, we can take a look at <br>
other bots like telegram:<a href="http://t2bot.io" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">t2bot.io</a> [1]<br>
