And while IRC is improving (and you are very welcome to participate e.g. in #ircv3 or #freenode-dev on freenode) two of the main pain points people mention (lack of an endless scrollback / offline history, uploading media directly) are unlikely to fully happen on freenode / IRC, due to both technical and privacy / legal reasons. There is very likely to be (offline) backlog, but it will be time-limited due to the above constraints. Not having these constraints means someone else (neither freenode nor probably KDE) has both the storage and the legal willingness to store that data, with all implications this brings (DSVGO, security and privacy, ...) These are usually profit oriented companies, and having to rely on these brings up some new issues.
I'm not sure an endless scrollback is a dealbreaker. I've noticed folks in Telegram talking about cleanup bots that regularly delete the history due to whatever privacy concerns. But in general, sure, people want hosting & backups & everything for free and top notch customer support :)
