gollark: I had another idea, which was to not have virtual channels and just have virtual point-to-point links then use magic™ to find connected subgraphs of things, but this would also be complex.
gollark: Is it to just maintain a list of "bridging" links and do inter-virtual-channel routing on those? This would be a bit flaky and complex I think.
gollark: Is the system to just merge the virtual channels? This would be problematic to unmerge later.
gollark: But then I realized that this had a significant problem; what happens if virtual channels A and B both connect to Discord channel 124091724?
gollark: So I was thinking of an AutoBotRobot "virtual channel" publish/subscribe bridge where Discord channels could link up to a virtual channel, and IRC could also link to that via some glue code, and all would be cool and good™, and ApioTelephone could just create virtual channels temporarily.
