Apologies for the 600+ users still on #weechat @ freenode, the channel has been "stolen" by the new hostile admins, after 18 years of presence. "Thank you for using freenode" they say…
You are welcome as soon as possible on irc.libera.chat!
WeeChat IRC channels have moved to libera.chat, see you soon there!
