Well, turns out it did shut down some channels essentially overnight,
including #qtwebengine and my project's channel (#qutebrowser):
05:03 -> freenodecom (~com@freenode/staff) has joined #qtwebengine
05:03 -- freenodecom has changed topic for #qtwebengine from
"QtWebEngine | https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine |
[email protected] - Channel now recreated on
irc.libera.chat" to "This channel has moved to ##qtwebengine. The
topic is in violation of freenode policy:
https://freenode.net/policies";
05:03 <@freenodecom> This channel has been reopened with respect to
the communities and new users. The topic is in violation of freenode
policy: https://freenode.net/policies
05:03 <@freenodecom> The new channel is ##qtwebengine
05:03 <- freenodecom (~com@freenode/staff) has left #qtwebengine
They now claim this has "accidentally" targetted more channels than they
intended, but this kind of power abuse (mixed with incompetence) is not
tolerable either way, in my eyes.
Here's my take on it, FWIW:
