Description site+kdebugs 2021-05-24 13:43:55 UTC 
Since the website mentions the digikam IRC-channel on Freenode, I'm concerned
about the development of that network. It has been taken over by a person who
bought a company and has forced the staff to resign. Now the network has new
staff, who have questionable backgrounds. Also has there been changes in the
policies, quickly to made drafts. Those changes are currently used to gain
access to channels that belong(ed) to people or communities that have stated to
move. The same changes reflect the stance against inclusion of people and at
best have a shady definition of unlawfulness.
