Hello Replicant Community, This issue has come to a head. I did not receive any feedback on my original email below. I found out today that there have been matrix bots in the #replicant freenode channel for a little while now. I have not determined how long the bot(s) have been keeping a complete log of the room, but it has been happening.
I suggest that we immediately add something to the topic of the #replicant freenode IRC saying that our room is logged and the logs are available on the internet. I don't think that we necessarily need to say where they are available in matrix. What are your thoughts on this?
