I'm not a fan of the idea to be honest. Who is moderating the discord side?

I don't see a problem with it. It's permissionless anyway to do so. We can deal with issues if they arise.

I would follow the same approach -dev is heaving. I don't see the reason to have discord folks in this room (no problem in making it read-only). I'm not a fan of needing to ping moderators somewhere in case of issues with discord users.

what do you mean with "it's permissionless anyway to do so"? binaryFate

anyone can technically bridge any public IRC channel to whatever they want

oh maybe you mean that they can set it up anytime? I'm not sure, i think they need the approval of an admin/mod in the room

Ah in that case maybe yes. But in theory anyone can just bridge via a normal user if they wanted to.

I think that's against freenode's rules tho

I think it's fine. if it ends up being unhelpful or harmful, we can just remove it

If people want it, so be it.
