And this is a good example of how both using libera.chat and
having an official matrix bridge with a nice name can help more
people use IRC too!
Pasting directly into the channel is generally a no-no on IRC. Things like Matrix or IRCCloud convert to pastebins automatically.

Perhaps I'm too much of an IRC noob, but I still found it it rather
surprising to be banned from libera.chat (my IP is blacklisted) for
pasting a 25-line build script for building GHC via hadrian on FreeBSD
into the #ghc channel.
This was in response to a discussion about issues with the bindist,
how the port is built, ... and while perhaps I'm expected to use a
paste bin, the abrupt ban was rather a harsh response.
The ban appears to have been "temporary", an hour or so later I am
able to reconnect, but this does not leave a good impression.
