I'm always serious :)

But sure it's a long shot and I never expected it to happen, but I thought I'd try.

Moving wholesale to something which has the advantages of IRC and the
advantages of Telegram would avoid fragmentation that I see and it
would avoid the faff of bridges which makes it even harder to follow
who is who on each place.
