Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2023-02-22T21:52:40Z] <wm-bot> <bd808> Ignore wikibugs in #wikimedia-ed (T330341)

The config for this bridge currently looks like:

## T306887: #wikimedia-ed
[[gateway]]
name="wikimedia-ed-irc-telegram"
enable=true

    [[gateway.inout]]
    account="irc.libera-bridgebot"
    channel="#wikimedia-ed"

        [gateway.inout.options]
        # T330341: ignore wikibugs
        IgnoreNicks="wikibugs"

    [[gateway.inout]]
    account="telegram.bridgebot"
    channel="-1001308681527"

I thought that the IgnoreNicks setting on the gateway was the correct magic. The bridge for the #wikimedia-hackathon channel is using basically the same config to ignore wm-bot instances (IgnoreNicks="wm-bot wm-bot2 wm-bot3") and that seems to work as expected. The only obvious difference is the multiple nicks in the working config. I am going to try adding some dummy values to the config to see if that makes anything different.

Touching the ticket to test what happens when wikibugs speaks in the irc channel.

Please add wm-bot wm-bot2 wm-bot3 also in the list.

Did this happen to magically start working as previously expected when bridgebot was updated to a newer version of matterbridge?

Apparently the bot has been kicked out of the Telegram group. @Jony, are you interested in trying again to see if I can actually configure the software to do what I am supposed to be able to configure it to do?
