Here's the backstory for those who aren't following. This hits kind of
close to home, since my girlfriend was Freenode staff and we actually
met on Freenode. I dropped off Freenode suddenly, because I didn't want
to deal with this stuff.
Essentially, the head of staff at Freenode (Christel) sold it in 2017 to
a bitcoin millionaire, Andrew Lee. Lee claimed that he would be
hands-off. But last month, he made a power play, appointing people to
staff positions and trying to have others removed from staff positions.
Freenode has always been volunteer-run. The volunteer staff resigned en
masse. Here are links to a couple of their resignation letters.

I registered #edbrowse on irc.libera.chat. A few of us are in
##edbrowse, but we may as well drop the extra # if we do move to the new network.
