[07:58:27] Per https://github.com/mautrix/telegram/blob/master/ROADMAP.md the Telegram -> Matrix backfill is manual, and the Matrix -> Telegram backfill is not supported yet. (re @waldyrious: One concern I have with that option is that the bridging software (IIUC) has the ability to backfill history, and I wonder if it...) [08:02:16] That said, yes, it would great to have a bridge that has a concept of rich text, history and user identities... @waldyrious would you be interested in testing out the capabilities of the bridge over two throwaway channels? Wikimedia Hubs is using it already, but they have little traffic and I'm not sure how much testing they did. (I guess I could ask.) [08:57:17] Sure :) I'll create a group and add you so we can test there. (re @gtisza: That said, yes, it would great to have a bridge that has a concept of rich text, history and user identities... @waldyrious woul...) [09:46:21] Can anyone confirm this is the way IP blocking of servers is supposed to work? Whether my bot is logged in or not, I get the same error message when trying to make an edit through the API: [09:46:21] [09:46:22] {"error":{"code":"wikimedia-globalblocking-ipblocked-range","info":"'''Your IP address is in a range that has been [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Global blocks|blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis]].'''

I think the error message could be clearer and change depending if you're logged in or not. I can get forward though, I started to set up a tool account [10:29:36] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:No_open_proxies/Unfair_blocking (re @tuukkahastrup: Can anyone confirm this is the way IP blocking of servers is supposed to work?

I had to give my bot the IP block exempt flag, and if anyone needs it on wikidata, feel free to ask me [14:29:10] Obvious spam accounts are so obvious
