Okay so just people don't misuse my experience here: the person I'm talking about here was christel, so good riddance of her. Migrate to Libera Chat, if you're in doubt. Also remember "privmsg" is not private, though. Doesn't matter who's on the staff.

In unrelated small world news, what's the chance that there's an overlap between the people involved in today's Freenode shenanigans and the group of people that hated me so much as to Photoshop my face on top of photos of Nazi soldiers back in the Gentoo fights, ay?

Re: "privmsg is not private", IRC is a great medium for public discussion of topics where it's fine for anyone to join and listen, & the limitations of the medium help to remind of that. It's not a suitable medium for secrets.

Public chat rooms act as a starting point for private discussions. It's natural to direct message people in the room as a way of starting a private discussion. Needing to move to another platform for private discussions draws into question the use of IRC for the public channels.

Standard end-to-end encryption with proper multi-session support is one of the reasons we chose to fully move to Matrix. We've also started hosting our own Matrix server to avoid depending on matrix.org the same way we depended on freenode:

The main addresses for the official GrapheneOS chat rooms are now #grapheneos:grapheneos.org and #grapheneos-offtopic:grapheneos.org. Matrix rooms aren't tied to specific servers and can have multiple addresses. Previous room addresses will keep working fine.
