The "bridges" really work well if you can host your own and "puppeteer" your account. I only use Element on my phone now and all whatsapp messages come through without issues.

I am also spending some time hacking around some terminal matrix client. I don't have to worry about some corporation pulling the rug.

Does that mean I could set a bot to login to my account and post as me, all from the comfort of an IRC client? Any more deets?

I don't know if you can "puppeteer" a matrix account (that puppeteers a whatsapp account) from an IRC account/client.

The matrix TUI client I am using is iamb[1]. It's still early WIP, but usable.
