Matrix.org thinks it's 2025 and still believes anyone cares about "nextgen" authentication. 
Because clearly, shifting to #MAS in a dystopian future will solve all our problems while no one notices.

Is it possible to configure a #Matrix server and/or a #Mastodon server in a "push and pull" mode? 
In other words, a server that cannot be reached from the outside world but one that can push out locally produced "items" and pull remotely produced "items".
I'd call this "a private end node".
I'm guessing the answer is "no", but there are so many brilliant people here, I thought I'd at least ask.
Oh, wow.

"So unless the Foundation manages to raise $100,000 of funding by the end of March 2025 [...] we will have to shut down all the remaining bridges hosted by the Matrix.org Foundation. This includes bridges to Slack, XMPP, OFTC (IRC), and Snoonet (IRC). We will also mark the software behind those bridges as archived, as we don't have the resources to accept new contributions."
