Hi all, The freenode IRC room has been closed by a freenode bot. Looks like it thought that #dcglug wasn't a FOSS/Open source related channel and booted us to ##dcglug. Because of the way the room was bridged on the matrix side (the freenode room was owned and operated by the bridge), it's effectively killed the freenode matrix room as well (it's now read-only). The liberachat room, and the matrix-native room are still up so I guess go there? matrix: #dcglug:fossgalaxy.com (/join <roomid> if you can't see it in the room directory) liberachat #dcglug If someone wants to bridge to the ## freenode room via matrix.org they can do it in the integrations manager (they'll need to be a freenode room op). I guess that someone could also try to -bonk the freenode operators on the head- ask for the room to be reinstated on the freenode side? Looks like gentoo(!) was caught up in the problems as well https://www.gentoo.org/news/2021/05/26/gentoo-freenode-channels-hijacked.html Kind Regards, Joseph -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
