gollark: I've realized VARIOUS flaws with my idea and now all is bee. Not that I implemented it. But all will become bee.
gollark: I try to write all languages as if I'm writing fairly bad Haskell.
gollark: How elegant*.
gollark: Yes, that was one possibility but would also be quite limiting.
gollark: I have devised a possible solution:- do the virtual channel thing- when a Discord channel is added to a virtual channel, it checks which ones are already connected- these are added to a lookup table of some sort for inter-VC bridging - all the channels which are currently causing inter-VC bridging are stored- when a message is somethinged on a virtual channel, it is bridged based on the lookup table- when a virtual channel is unlinked from a real channel it removes it from the lookup table- when the lookup table entry for the inter-virtual-channel link contains 0 items, bridging stops
