Projects and channels that have left Freenode

This is a (necessarily incomplete) list of projects and channels that have decided to permanently move out of Freenode to https://libera.chat (unless stated otherwise). Please reach out below or on IRC if there's additions or corrections.

Sources are mostly comments I've seen on HN, various IRC channels and web searches.

Projects and channels that have stayed on Freenode

More difficult to find are projects that have stayed, please let me know.

  • GnuPG
  • #freenode (duh)

Why does a few ops deciding to take their ball and move to another network mean that a "channel has moved"? The very premise is nonsense and absurd. Unless it's a trademarked/commercial branded channel, every channel remains on freenode and can adopt new ops to manage the community that decides to remain. This is all a bunch of posturing and virtue signaling that does nothing except damage the communities various parties purport to be supporting. Really sad that people are so interested in being divisive rather than actually work together.

Because taking someone else's channel is not only an asshole move but also misleading to newcomers. Think about it.

Sincerely a User
