Currently our messaging setup follows the philosophy
Matrix <-> IRC <-> Telegram
This setup provides an unsatisfactory experience for Matrix and Telegram users, as IRC which acts as a middle man does not support various features that both Telegram and Matrix implement (e.g. images with direct preview, user avatars, replies, etc.). It would therefore be interesting to modify the setup to
IRC <-> Matrix <-> Telegram
This would improve the communication for both Matrix and Telegram users, whilst not changing anything for IRC users. To do this, the Matrix homeserver would have to run https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram or a similar Matrix <-> Telegram bridge. Given that the homeserver is to my knowledge not controlled by KDE Sysadmin but by Modular.im which sponsor the server, we should probably reach out to Modular.
