Gitter now speaks Matrix

Thanks! I'm still in the room with no feedback that sending the message failed, but from the room's point of view it's now private.

One other thing: my message was still posted by @matrixbot, rather than by my Matrix user. Is this another case of every client having to migrate (I'm using Fractal)?

The virtualUser messages are being shepherded by `@matrixbot` behind the scenes but you shouldn't really notice that part.

`@matrixbot` does show in the browser notification but we do plan to fix that up: https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2695

If you see messages directly from `@matrixbot` in the chat area, then that means that the room is still plumbed using the old Gitter bridge. We're working on a plan to migrate rooms using the old bridge over to the new one, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2674

Are you sure it's a room issue? In the same room where my message was sent directly by @matrixbot, I can also see an earlier message from someone else from @theiraccount:matrix.org.
