Yeah.

Freenode just kicked everybody off and requires re-registering, so I
think [0] has already happened.  I'm not gonna bother.

Enrico, I suggest the website should remove mention of IRC and point
questions to github discussions since it is already set up.  At least
until something else is arranged

IM(NS)HO IRC is not suitable for developer or user communications when
everybody is in different time zones, it sucks for that.

Cheers
