Hi Sviatoslav


Im under the impression that most of the communication at chat level has
moved to the discord.
That being said, i'm also a matrix user, but it looks like proper and
sound bridges will be "quite" a infrastructure tasks and
i'm not sure if we have someone willing/able to do that in future.
