Accounts and rooms / channels wiped? https://www.reddit.com/r/irc/comments/o01tmv/freenode_wipes_old_database_and_starts_over/ -

(To be fair, there's almost certainly a mismatch in the schemas.)
If they wanted to end the steady flow of channels and users leaving, this is one way to achieve it. -

Iβll remove myself from the Matrix side of those same rooms and Iβll be good. -
