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.
There is still writing "We do NOT endorse or encourage discrimination
on the grounds of e.g. race, religion, gender or sexual preference
[...]" so it could be argued to be de-duplication.
I'm more worried about the other change in the same merge work. I'm
supposing that after a migration the #svn channel would be considered
abandoned and thus up for grabs by anyone? Is there anything that can
be done to mitigate the risk?
Obviously we shouldn't abandon the channel, but I'm sure there's a way
to automagically reply to posts with a link to the Libera channel(s).
It's debatable whether that amounts to squatting ... but there are far
too many existing links to our presence on Freenode to just ignore.
(I'm not following the events closely so I can't provide any input to
the direction to move).
Kind regards,
Daniel Sahlberg
