    These moves feel like the final few nails in the coffin for IRC. I hope people move over to libera.chat

    On the plus side, now I dont have to log into freenode and delete my account.

      Yes my thinking as well :)

      But tbh, they were bleeding users fast anyways, this way they might win over a few remaining ones by offering much nicer services from a technical perspective. I think they want to try and compete with Discord, not retain the old timers so much. Lets see how that works out, but I am glad I moved to my own IRCd a few weeks ago.
