I don't agree. Its just the same community using two different protocols to communicate.

It is still a person talking, not some random text by a AI robot. Here the bot is just translating a real person's message between two protocols. I understand it takes a bit more effort to get used to. The people are present in the xmpp room and you can talk to them from irc. You just have to type their nicknames in full (without tab completion). Another complaint I heard yesterday was about not being able to stop people bullying, that is not correct. If a person is bullying from xmpp room, they can be stopped from the xmpp room. The kind of response you and Jonas gave to a Abhijith is really demotivating for him. It is understandable that people got annoyed, but the way you both responded were not encouraging for a community like Debian India.
