df5132394fIRSSI is an IRC client and should not advertise nor be beholden to any particular IRC network. This patch is inspired by both of the following commits, and aims to remove references to any particular network in the documentation, in an effort to avoid potential conflict amongst team and community members: -a4486c236a-1ba48840a1Based on a (as of this writing) draft blog post [0], and the discussion that has occurred regarding the blog post, it doesn't appear as if the IRSSI development team is interested in being transparent about the reasoning behind its aversion to removing the Freenode network, specifically related to the comments about "potential legal consequences". By removing references to any given network in the documentation, this project moves forward without taking a political stance, but in a way that avoids recommending any given network to users.
