I was wondering whether the Piefed Zulip could be bridged with XMPP, through, for example, Matterbridge.
I’d like to join it, but I really don’t need another client running if I already use a free and federated protocol. :D
Also, XMPP aligns pretty well with Fediverse ideals. :)
Don’t see zulip as a chat, it’s a forum with a chat interface. So yes, making another account for a specific forum is not that bad.
