Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the Slack channel and DM bridging logic, then determine how an option could exclude general channels while retaining DMs and optionally DM groups. Done means the behavior is configurable, DMs can be received and answered in Matrix, and tests cover the selected bridging modes.

Description

enhancement

I am in a lot of slack channels, and in most I don't need to pay attention to the general channels, but like to occasionally check them for any good information. Bridging all of the text channels clutters up my inbox too much.

On the other hand, it would be pretty nice if I could get notified and be able to respond to DMs (and maybe DM groups too) in matrix since I get them relatively rarely, and they wouldn't clutter up my inbox so much.
