I already disconnected from Freenode since receiving a large amount of spam a few days ago. I've been idling in #gentoo on libera.chat as soon as it was announced.
It saddens me to disconnect from Freenode after all these years. But, ultimately, it's just a name. The spirit will live on. Although it might be weakened.
If everyone jumps ship it will be the same community in all but name.
I was going to wait until the weekend to jump, but all these stories hitting HN have made me get my arse in gear :)
