This is potential huge. I hope it works more seamlessly than the Element/IRC bridge, which is a hot pile of garbage and almost got me kicked off an IRC channel due to the formatting issues that the Element bridge introduces. Best of luck to them!

Aye, my condolances to anyone on Teams who will have to deal with annoying Matrix users. Their client has been a major nuisance to IRC.

Have you got more details on this? Why do you think matrix users are annoying on IRC bridges?

I have no sympathy for any IT department that enforces Teams upon its peers.

Does Matrix have decent mod features yet? I want to take people off Discord, but user-friendly role creation/assignment, moderation tools, and granular permissions are a must before that'll be possible.

I haven't tried, but it seems to! The table of contents seems quite broad.

If a matrix user tries to write something too long for matrix+bridge to handle it will instead just paste a link to a website that shows the users text. Only the link to this web text clip will be sent to IRC.

If a matrix user responds to someone their matrix client + bridge will inline copy the previous lines and send it to IRC with their response.

Basically, the matrix bridge is extremely spammy even with normal behaviors. The sane thing would be to just break up the message into to parts and send it. The sane thing would be to assume anyone looking at IRC already knows what comment they are responding to and there's no reason to re-post it inline.

There are more annoyances but those are what come immediately to mind.
