As of today #postmarketos on irc.oftc.net is the fifth biggest IRC channel on OFTC.
#alpine-linux is, as of today, *the* biggest OFTC channel, and behind #alpine-linux is #oftc itself.

.. and on the other hand, you will certainly remember the time well (was that before Corona?) when, due to great egoism and the resulting loss of trust, freenode-irc became a no-go and thus destroyed for all people volunteering in free and open software #liberachat was created out of nowhere, which in turn resulted in a mass switch of all these good spirits to liberachat. This was unprecedented evidence of who the f(l)oss-fsf communities belong to mentally. Do you know a better example of positive conspiratorial and, above all, such great collective unity and clarity? Not me. This happened in no time without much talking. The good spirit called and everyone came. Well a few went to #OFTC, but even #Kali-Linux has a connection bot to liberachat because many of their fans were too quick to join libera. I have never experienced a major brain drain or should I say mind drain. The purest migration of good folks.
I don't mean to say that with what's left of #freenode there are only heartless zombies running around. My friends from PuppyLinux are still there (and also on lberachat) and are holding the fort because many Windows users are interested in #puppylinux to get started and are checking out freenode first.
You can see that so far I've only been on irc channels. Facebook x etc were never an option for me because even in their early days I foresaw that this could not have a good development for their users and for our society.You know, I believe that the spirit here for many people is the same good spirit and I have already seen a few profiles that reinforce my belief. I think I will feel comfortable here.
Thank you for your welcome :D -
@jchillerup Det har altid været hyggeligt at hænge ud på #linux.dk på #OFTC, selv om der godt kan gå længe mellem at nogen siger noget. /cc #IRC -
@recursiveelegance Hmm, I thought IRC faded out when #FreeNode went down. I guess it survived to some extent through #LiberaChat and maybe #OFTC.

@TheOuterLinux @lord Note as well that among the #OFTC network operators is Neil McGovern, the director of #Gnome. This is probably not a good force to have in the free software community: http://techrights.org/wiki/GNOME_Foundation

@lord @TheOuterLinux #Libera uses MS for web hosting & they've jailed their web gateway in #cloudflare. #OFTC forces you to solve a Google #reCAPTCHA (thus #nonfreesoftware) to get a cloak -- & some channels (e.g. #gnucash) force you to register before you have a voice. So bad options all around.

Wrote how to get cloaked on #OFTC , it's easy and quick as usual - https://blog.sahilister.in/2021/07/getting-a-cloak-on-oftc/

It's interesting to see @fdroidorg moved its IRC channel to the Open and Free Technology Community server (#OFTC) instead of to @liberachat . Considering that the OFTC is more focused on free software, it makes sense

> You can move to #LiberaChat, to #OFTC, to #Rizon, etc. Or use #Matrix or an #XMPP MUC instead of IRC. Just don't "wait and see" and be surprised when your channel is targeted.

So before everyone panics over the #freenode "take over," or whatever the heck is going on, instead of just migrating to something with the word "libre" (or similar) in it, treating every project with that word in its title as if the name guarantees anything, especially #privacy, which is a moronic thought for a public, centralized #irc server, my personal recommendation is #oftc since that is where Tor seems to do their IRC. They also have a web client at https://webchat.oftc.net/.
