It is going downhill faster than I expected, with policy changes like this: https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/pull/513/files#diff-0e382b024f696a3b7a0ff3bce24ae3166cc6f383d059c7cc61e0a3ccdeed522cL87 You are now welcome to use political, racial, ethnic, religious or gender-related slurs on freenode. IRC trolls are going to love this.
