The entire staff and vast majority of channels + users have now transitioned to irc.libera.chat.
The irc.freenode.org network is being run like a chan board, with users given op for using transphobic slurs.
In quality and composition, the Libera Chat community today is identical to the Freenode community of last year. Libera's history is Freenode's history; it doesn't belong to Andrew Lee except in the most artificial way.
I think there's an argument to merge this article into Libera Chat. As such the lead of the article would begin "Libera Chat, stylized Libera.Chat and formerly known as freenode and Open Projects Network, is an IRC network" and would include Freenode's history. 82.39.97.150 ( talk) 19:13, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
There was a wall message on 2021-06-15 (times in UTC):
00:20:31-keitwo(~kei@freenode/staff/kei)- [Global Notice 1/3] We are moving past legacy freenode to a new fork. The new freenode is launched. You will slowly be disconnected and when you reconnect, you will be on the new freenode. We patiently await to welcome you in freedom's holdout - the freenode. 00:20:41-keitwo(~kei@freenode/staff/kei)- [Global Notice 2/3] If you're looking to connect now, you can already /server chat.freenode.net 6697 (ssl) or 6667 (plaintext). It's a new genesis for a new era. Thank you for using freenode, and Hello World, from the future. freenode is IRC. freenode is FOSS. freenode is freedom. 00:20:47-keitwo(~kei@freenode/staff/kei)- [Global Notice 3/3] When you connect, register your nickname and your channel and get started. It's a new world. We're so happy to welcome you and the millions of others. We will be posting more information in the coming days on our website and twitter. Otherwise, see you on the other side!
Now ~ 14 hours later, that disconnect happened. The old network is gone and chat.freenode.net points to a new network which reuses the old name. All entries from NickServ and ChanServ are gone. I.e. "freenode" and "new freenode" are two separate networks.
In my opinion, today is the day freenode died and that should be reflected in the article's infobox. And perhaps a new article "new freenode" created. -- Wulf4096 ( talk) 14:18, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

reliable enough sources to be included. Not from what I see, anyway.

20:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC)According to this page and other recent developments, Freenode now requires SASL, TLS and an advance registration in order to actually use the network - among other things, this means netsplit is no longer able to track the status and usage of the network. Should the article be updated to reflect this change, and if so how? -- Umbire the Phantom ( talk) 10:27, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

https://irc.com/login/sso in order to create an account. SASL Configuration:

The result of the move request was: Snow close, not moved: after more than five days of inactivity, all participants opposed the move. Some policy-based arguments are WP:COMMONNAME (Freenode has long been the popular name for the network) and although not expressly cited, WP:NOTINHERITED (Freenode is the notable network and name, any new network deserving its own article would need to establish its own notability). A redirect from Joseon (IRC network) to Freenode and a mention of the new name is still possible if supported by a reliable source ( WP:R#PLA). ( closed by non-admin page mover) — Paleo Neonate – 03:34, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Freenode → Joseon (IRC network) – Freenode has changed its name to Joseon and the new domain when you connect to the network is irc.joseon.kr. 81.156.169.244 ( talk) 20:00, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
This article conflates Freenode a company, freenode a DNS entry, freenode a group of servers of uncertain ownership and their configuration, and a previous registered charity. It's very confusing and looks like a lot of political agendas unsuited to an encyclopedia and somebody somewhere trying to make a misinformative page. TristanDC ( talk) 08:04, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
