after the disgusting harassment their staff received a few years back I can understand not wanting their realnames anywhere

("freenodegate")

That was a fun year.

No it wasn't.

Allow me my sense of humour about it given I was one of the main targets :P

I give it 2 years max until they sell libera.chat to the next "totally trustworthy guy who gave them his word" for a pack of magic beans.

Count me out of this scam.
