Footnotes

  1. Freenode doesn't have the leading _ as it is older than the practice of putting the underscore to the beginning.
  2. This appservice user doesn't have "freenode" in its name because in the past it was used for all matrix.org-hosted bridges.
  3. This includes both irc.gimp.org and irc.gnome.org, as they are the same thing.
  4. Hackint closed their Matrix bridge on 2018/12/31. More Info at: https://hackint.org/archive#20181028_Matrix_Bridging_Sunset
  5. Random.sh is no longer contactable. Status of the bridge is unknown.
  6. The bridge has moved from matrix.org to gnome.org.
  7. Foonetic IRC has shut down. #xkcd channels moved to slashnet. http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Main_Page#Channel_Migration
  8. The espernet bridge was shut down after the 2019 matrix.org network breach.
  9. The Moznet IRC network has been shut down. They now run their own Matrix homeserver at chat.mozilla.org 🎉
