Let’s say I want to bridge from WhatsApp or telegram to Matrix, have I gaibed something in terms of privacy? In which case would it make sense? Public group chats? Direct chats?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Bridges help us break out of privacy raping apps by destroying their network effect.
But an auto-reply, only if written right, always works best.

We do not control WhatsApp. It fails to include a libre software license text file, anti-libre software.
Escaping these traps is how we take us our privacy back.
It isn’t really opposing the network effect, because you enable who is on the platform you want to avoid to keep using it and staying in touch with you, so they have no incentive to try your platform, if most of their contacts remain on theirs.
As you said, an automatic response is a thing that would make a difference, there is something at stake and the contact either tries your proposed platform or sees you as too extreme and drops the conversation altogether
You’ve already left. You don’t need a bridge.
It’s for them, not you.
It lets them switch gradually and delete the bridge later.
I’m not sure I follow, with “them” who are you referring to?
