Older telegram messages that recieve reactions are resent to IRC #1816

Messages older than about an hour are resent to irc and irc alone if someone uses telegram's reaction feature on the message. Not sure about the exact amount of time that needs to pass.

I did a little digging into this, and the problem seems to be that the Telegram fires an update event, but the library (and interestingly also the bot API itself) doesn't actually support reactions at the moment.

So the gateway is receiving update events and dutifully passing them on to each of the individual bridges as usual, and IRC is re-sending the messages as usual for a message update as it can't edit old messages. AFAICT you would need to wait for Telegram to bother either adding awareness of reactions to update events (so you can filter them), or to stop firing off update events for reactions (which would fix the problem for you).

it is still very much relevant here. In fact the same is true for matrix and discord: reaction on telegram side trigger the message being reacted to to be resent. AFAIK, no other workaround than disabling reactions on the telegram side. Hoping someone might have a better workaround.

Just wanted to post that this is still happening and is a great way to bypass restrictions and spamming previous replies.
