Hi, 

thanks for posting to the list! 

I mostly agree, even though I am unsure of how certain things could be 
implemented, e.g. 

> * Editing messages

which IRC simply does not support. So my best guess would be that this only 
works for people using the Kiwi solution, or the IRC people will see both the 
old and the edited message. 

Stickers and uploads and whatnot could be handled like the Matrix bridge does, 
i.e. IRC users will see a link they can click on to get it. Not ideal, but 
still my preferred solution next to the bridges, as: 

- based on existing infrastructure
- covers some of the bigger pain points
- has, from what I can see, an okay UI for the "IRC like" point, a more 
Telegram like one would have to be coded 
- We (freenode) already work with Kwi more or less (more more than less) 
closely, so from freenode side this should all be fine

Kind regards, 

Christian
