gollark: I'll probably only add it if/when it gets stuck in a loop trying to send to nonexistent channels.
gollark: Maybe it tries, in priority order:- other channels on the same server- direct messages to the user- other channels on any servers they're in- other channels on any server whatsoever- random people in the queue for reminders
gollark: I should really have some counterapiomeasures in place if a channel/server doesn't exist when it tries to remind someone.
