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.
