>If I were starting an IRC channel for a free software project now, I would put it on OFTC, which has a real governance model with elections and - mysteriously - also manages to be drama-free.

I'm not sure if it's completely drama-free. During the community meeting on the future of FSF's presence on IRC[1], someone shared these logs:

https://irclogs.thegrebs.com/oftc/2021/05/01

https://irclogs.thegrebs.com/oftc/2021/05/03

https://irclogs.thegrebs.com/oftc/2021/03/30

I don't know anything about the context of these exchanges, but nevertheless they make me worry about their moderation policies.
