Better way to know when logged out

[phorcys420]

I've experienced a number of disconnects since my first use of the bridge (october 2021), and each time, I fail to know that I've been disconnected.

I have the bot's DMs muted because honestly, who likes this stuff ?

That's not really an issue, but when I get the log out messages, I don't know about them and usually spend around 30 minutes to 3 hours to notice that my friends haven't been ghosting me ! (I have a specific space for friends and a specific space for bridges)

I think it could be improved. Now, I have some ideas in mind :

• Puppeted rooms could send you a message when you're logged out. Issue with that is that it will move the message reads in an improper manner.
• The bridge bot should ping the user it's in DMs with when something is important, that way I set the bot's DMs to pings/keywords only.
