Freenode hosts only free software-related channels as far as I know. There are still some small servers out there, but they are getting rarer. One I used to frequent just recently shut down because it was hit by massive amounts of disgusting spam.

- vertex-four 8y agoFreenode hosts a ridiculous amount of social channels, albeit usually for niche purposes or centred around specific people. The spam has been stopped recently, at least where I’m hanging out.
