Discord took the place of IRC. Chatlogs for IRC were rarely indexed by most channel admins until after about 2010 when projects like freenode hosted all the open source projects for the whole web.

It was purchased by some right wing billionaire and now it is no longer.

    But in a success story for open source software, the entire community migrated from freenode to libera.chat in like 2 days.

    The way to defeat enshittification is by disallowing lock-in.
