I am not on Freenode anymore

Table of Contents

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 (preferred) and Libera.
