Unfortunately, I've seen Discord bridges in the opposite direction.
e.g. there was a private SILC daemon that I used to chill on with dmuz (RIP) aempirei et al.
After I learned that dmuz had passed away, I connected to it again to see what the dealio was.
I had clearly been gone too long.
Once upon a time, they had improved their SILC daemon to have full ANSI color support (even blink ANSI codes IIRC) and I seem to recall testing it successfully with UTF-8 too (albeit, most others didn't have their clients configured correctly and seemed to freak t.f. out but whatever).
Unfortunately, at some point in the intervening hiatus, someone decided to bridge that SILC daemon to Discord, and basically all messages were being shunted back and forth.
It ruins the SILC experience and eradicates the PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) paradigm built into SILC as a security mechanism.
I did connect to their Discord "server" and saw they had added all sorts of other garbage (a stock ticker channel comes to mind). Someone apparently tech bro-ed too hard.
I did thankfully get a little bit more insight into dmuz's untimely passing as well as his widow's well being; but that bridge friggin ruined the rest of the experience of that charming little SILC server.
I gave up and haven't been back in quite a while. No doubt the handful of individuals left who may still frequent that place and be on decent terms with me we'll maybe cross paths in person someday hopefully; but dmuz is RIP and aempirei was no where to be seen either.
