Having everyone except Debian ... someone made the point that Debian developers and some other Debian folks tended to hang out on OFTC while Debian _users_ tended to hang out on Freenode.

OFTC is still very much there so maybe those seeking Debian advice/assistance/company will re-coalesce there more readily.

[Disclaimer: Not speaking on behalf of the Debian Project: no particular connection with either IRC provision other than as satisfied user of OFTC for a while.]

Upheaval at freenode

Looks like the #debian channel is now on OFTC, freenode and libera, with the latter two having a reminder that irc.debian.org points at irc.oftc.net. There are a surprising amount of other Debian channels on freenode and libera, although most Debian channels are indeed on OFTC.
