From 87d6088053760e5fdc33768e86fe0c0ba25108f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Stanley Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 19:36:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Switch docs from referencing Freenode to OFTC We moved our services to OFTC at the end of May, 2021. Update all old Freenode references in the manual, and also drop mention of registering nicks as this is not currently required to join channels we serve.
