Bye, Freenode

I have been on Freenode for about 20 years, since my earliest involvement with Debian in about 2001. When Debian moved to OFTC for its IRC presence way back in 2006, I hung around on Freenode somewhat since FOSDEM's IRC channels were still there, as well as for a number of other channels that I was on at the time (not anymore though).

This is now over and done with. What's happening with Freenode is a shitstorm -- one that could easily have been fixed if one particular person were to step down a few days ago, but by now is a lost cause.

At any rate, I'm now lurking, mostly for FOSDEM channels, on libera.chat, under my usual nick, as well as on OFTC.
