Hi all,
For over 18 years, we have used Freenode as our home for the
Dlang community on IRC. Recent events, however, have made it
unclear whether we will be able to retain any presence on
Freenode at all.
So it has been decided, as of
[2021/05/27](https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/3012), our
official IRC presence will now be on [Libera
Chat](https://libera.chat/), with [OFTC](https://www.oftc.net/)
as a secondary home. The Freenode channel has now been marked as
unofficial, and we invite everyone to join us in #d on Libera
Chat.
With that said, I am happy to announce that the Dlang project has
been registered with Libera Chat. This grants us claim to the #d
and #dlang related channels, as well as setting up dlang cloaks.
If you are a contributor to any project under the umbrella of
dlang (including gdc and ldc), and would like to request a cloak,
then please reach out to us.
The new channels on libera are:
- `#d`: Dlang community channel
- `#d-feed`: DFeed bot postings of all dlang-related posts,
issues, and pull requests
- `#d-gdc`: GDC development channel
- `#dlang`: Dlang development channel
See you all there!
