This is a quick public announcement to say that I am **not** on the
Freenode IRC network anymore. My nickname (`sergiodj`), which was
more than a decade old, has just been deleted (along with **every
other** nickname and channel in that network) from their database
today, 2021-06-14.
For your safety, you should assume that everybody you knew at Freenode
is not there either, even if you see their nicknames online. Do not
trust without verifying. In fact, I would strongly encourage that you
do not join Freenode anymore: their new policies are absolutely
questionable and their disregard for their users is blatant.
If you would like to chat with me, you can find me at
[OFTC](https://oftc.net/) (preferred) and
[Libera](https://libera.chat/).
