Hi !
Is there some IRC channel for Debian ?

Thanks

It's worth mentioning that there are #debian channels on at least two
different IRC networks: OFTC and Freenode.

All of the "official" Debian channels are on the OFTC network, because
for whatever reason(*), all of the Debian developers moved over there
about 15 years ago.

However, almost all of the Debian *users* are on the Freenode network.

It is what it is.

Freenode's #debian has more people, and you will probably get help there
faster, so long as your question is actually on-topic and reasonable
for an IRC channel.  However, all of the specialized channels (like
#debian-next, #debian-boot, or #debian-mentors) are on the OFTC network.
If your question is highly specific, or if you are not using a stable
Debian release, you may need to be on both networks.

Example of common *off-topic* questions for #debian (ones which will get
you ignored, yelled at, or kicked out of the channel, depending on how
you act) include: questions about sid/unstable, questions about Ubuntu,
questions about MX Linux, and questions about Kali Linux.

(*)I shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but some of you will remember the
guy I'm thinking of, a Freenode admin who drove a lot of people away.  Or
was the network still called OPN at the time?  I don't rememeber when
the name changed....

Wow - I just saw this:

But it didn't mention Bitcoin spammers ;)

Ah, okay. So he was not an owner of Mt. Gox the company, but rather the
developer of some sort of mobile application for the Mt. Gox exchange
that was subsequently acquired by the company Mt. Gox.

LWN is known to simplify things. Here's some words from the former
freenode staff:

They are? I usually find their coverage pretty good. In any event, in
this case the piece was barely a paragraph, just noting the existence
of serious problems and so on, and linking to various places.

I suppose Marco is a serious guy, but it's hard to take seriously a
statement that refers (without sourcing) to one's antagonist as "a
Trumpian wannabe korean royalty bitcoins millionaire."

I have no idea what that is, and spam isn't mentioned.

Marco takes politics too close to the heart IMO.
It's the links in that article that are worth following.

There's currently a network wide mass exodus from Freenode going on
today after apparently Freenode was sold to some bitcoin spammers.

Thanks for letting me know. I won't go have a look on FreeNode.
Two things I really dislike...
1st : Spammer
2nd : Publicity over all the crypto currency
3rd: Mix of the first two
