The community essentially moved to libera.chat for the most part.

Then how come you're only hearing about this now? It happened nearly 3
months ago.

TBH, that puzzles me. That's been the effect, but if Lee wanted to
destroy freenode, he could have done so much more easily after the
coup. But if total destruction isn't the goal, what is, and why
persist when total destruction is the outcome?
