Debian Statement regarding freenode takeover
Absolutely ridiculous. Exactly the kind of abuse I raised concern with when the freenode policy was changed. https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/commit/1194a3e71a427a669ccdddee22006416d46eeb43#r51255169
- Freenode policy changes allow takeover of "abandoned" channels, and racism.

On Freenode, Libera, and the r/sysadmin IRC Channel
Given how, when Mr. Lee changed the policy on channels to 'allow' him to just take them over he also removed a bit on hate speech (source) I'd imagine pretty bad. He's also started insisting what's happening is an example of 'Cancel Culture' so, you know. Yikes.

Freenode has unilaterally taken over #haskell along with many other community channels
https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/commit/1194a3e71a427a669ccdddee22006416d46eeb43#commitcomment-51195235

#emacs is on libera.chat
The new management doesn't like users fleeing to a rival network, so they've retroactively outlawed announcing channels moving to a different network by amending the rules of what's not tolerated on the network. The new rule has been enforced by a bot and can be appealed. In theory at least.
- Andrew Lee made Freenode a better place for FLOSS development
- Freenode removes hate speech rule
