The small Coop supermarket in my street has been bought by one of the largest supermarket chains. These coops are the last resort for people like me, who are forced to live in precarity.

Apparently just mentioning "libera.chat" in a channel's topic is enough for the new Freenode admins to join, change the topic, and remove your operator status.

They even devoiced the admin, so he can't talk about what's going on in the channel.
