Neil, hello.
Separately from the question about the wisdom or not of a Slack/IRC
bridge, you mentioned

Is that a thing that Slack do?
I've previously been comfortable using Slack in a light way, precisely
because their business model appears to be a freemium one, as opposed to
one which exists by monetising user data. That is, I can (I thought)
understand where their money comes from, in such a way that exploiting
user data (for some value of 'exploiting') would represent a potential
reputational danger rather than a fundamentally necessary income stream.
Since I use it for stuff which is not public, but professional rather
than Personal, it seems to fit into a vague category of uses where I'm
probably comfortable with the tradeoffs of a cloud solution. Have I
deceived myself with respect to Slack (as distinct from the model in
general), or is this down to a matter of where you or I or others might
locate those tradeoffs?
All the best,
Norman
