Same here. ZNC on Debian (apt install znc) on an Entrywan instance.

The freenode debacle impacted a handful of my favorite channels. #tcl is noticably quieter and a couple others are still trying to decide whether they're an official channel or not (this affects #channel vs ##channel naming). I'd bet that the number of active users has dropped but I don't have any emperical evidence.

If anyone is considering ZNC, here are a couple suggestions to change to the default config:

1. AllowWeb = false (only enable the web interface if you need it)

2. For each channel, add Buffer = 10000 so that you can have history for more than a day or two (the default is quite small)

3. Add these two lines:

LoadModule = chansaver LoadModule = clearbufferonmsg

to get better history tracking and avoid duplicate messages.

#tcl is now on liberachat although I believe its bridged between. Unless you meant in general. If so, apologies

Yes, the new channel, even with the bridges in tact, is still much quieter. Here's an sample from my client logs:

$ wc -l tcl2023* | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s/NR}' 116.333

$ wc -l tcl2020* | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s/NR}' 314.556

Less than half the activity before/after according to this non-scientific analysis (my client wasn't always connected and it looks like the logfiles contain topic/names and other output).
