This is so sad, I have no idea whats happening but it doesnt sound good. Ive always used freenode to ask questions and 90% of the time it has been great. I did encounter some poeple with "issues" where weirdly, I guess because we all try to use our nick, the confrontations are harsher ( than on anonymous places like the chans). I had one person convinced for 3 hours that I was for some reason a bad person because I asked a simple question about libraries, and well that was non stop abuse. I cant imagine how hard it is to be a dev. On the other hand freenode is where I knew I could contact someone working at a big company who might be able to resolve an issue and also get the word out about something. One fond memory I have is witnessing the first real Bitcoin crash a decade ago, I think it was from $50 down to $5 or something, and just before it happened these random nicks appeared in the channel and started trolling everyone. Thank you to everyone who contributed to freenode, I wish I knew how I could help support it in the right way.
