So what’s odd to me is how high freenode’s numbers still are. That’s a lot of people. If all the major FOSS projects have moved on, and with all the bad press,

So what’s odd to me is how high freenode’s numbers still are. That’s a lot of people. If all the major FOSS projects have moved on, and with all the bad press, how is it there are still so many people on it? What channels are they on? Is their death greatly exaggerated?

If you look at the amount of actual chat, it's already far below Libera. What this means is that probably most of the users left are either bouncers or lurkers that just haven't disconnected yet. However, this is speculation on my part.

  It's probably this. I haven't completely migrated my bouncer, either.

  And people might not have turned off their autojoins. It's not like lurking in a different server takes any effort.
