I genuinely don't understand how you are concerned about "losing messages" when that is literally the baseline for IRC. Every person needs their own bouncer if they don't want any message to be lost to them when their machine disconnects from the internet. And if your bouncer loses connection you won't get the messages either.

IRC doesn't lose messages. Everyone you see in the channel gets the message, everybody else doesn't. No guessing games. That's what gp meant.

Should be the same for Matrix really, if your client manages to send it to the server.
