     - `modes` returns a list of parsed modes: `(mode character, mode argument)` tuples, where the mode argument is either `None` (for modes without arguments), or a string.
     - The sender of this hook payload is IRCd-dependent, and is determined by whether the command was originally a SJOIN or regular JOIN - SJOIN is only sent by servers, and JOIN is only sent by users.
     - For IRCds that support joining multiple channels in one command (`/join #channel1,#channel2`), consecutive JOIN hook payloads of this format will be sent (one per channel).

     - `text` refers to the kick reason. The `target` and `channel` fields send the target's UID and the channel they were kicked from, and the sender of the hook payload is the kicker.

     - `text` refers to the kill reason. `target` is the target's UID.
     - The `userdata` key may include an `IrcUser` instance, depending on the IRCd. On IRCds where QUITs are explicitly sent (InspIRCd), `userdata` will be `None`. Other IRCds do not explicitly send QUIT messages for KILLed clients, so the daemon must assume that they've quit, and deliver their last state to plugins that require this info.
