Is Mattermost a viable alternative, and is it possible to bridge it with IRC and XMPP?

Mattermost has bridges[1]. There's also Matrix[2] which is decentralised and has bridges for almost everything. [1]: https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge [2]: https://matrix.org/ https://matrix.org/

  Have you tried running this stuff? Have you tried running your own home server and then bridging your irc network to it? It's not simple.

    I have run my own homeserver, you're right it's not simple. However, the main Matrix homeserver has those bridges set up (so if you don't mind using it, you can). But in the context of a corporate environemnt, you have people who are paid to maintain services like this.

        Yes, it's even included in the Riot UI. Note that unlike IRC, where bots or users must be on the same server rooms are completely independent of any single homeserver. There's nothing that says a room belongs to a certain homeserver. So the bridges set up by matrix.org will work with any room, unless you explicitly turn off federation.

        I'm dumb, I really don't see it in the UI. I read https://medium.com/@RiotChat/slack-bridge-improvements-44c52fb712f4 https://medium.com/@RiotChat/slack-bridge-improvements-44c52... I don't see a way to "add a slack" in Riot.

        AFAICT the key is the "manage integrations" -button (nine squares, 3x3) in the UI.

I have some experience with MM as user and can say that is just an imitation of the Slack. Every pixel trying to say "we were unable to make a real copy of the Slack". Have feeling that developers still use Slack for their own communications and blind copy what they see. Slack is not standard. There is a lot of the things that can be better in many ways.
