And this is a good example of how both using libera.chat and having an official matrix bridge with a nice name can help more people use IRC too!

Pasting directly into the channel is generally a no-no on IRC. Things like Matrix or IRCCloud convert to pastebins automatically.

    Perhaps I'm too much of an IRC noob, but I still found it it rather
    surprising to be banned from libera.chat (my IP is blacklisted) for
    pasting a 25-line build script for building GHC via hadrian on FreeBSD
    into the #ghc channel.

    This was in response to a discussion about issues with the bindist,
    how the port is built, ... and while perhaps I'm expected to use a
    paste bin, the abrupt ban was rather a harsh response.

    The ban appears to have been "temporary", an hour or so later I am
    able to reconnect, but this does not leave a good impression.
