Unfortunately (or fortunately), Freenode doesn't
like bots.<br>

Seems to me that's about #freenode, the freenode help

<div style="">Hmm, true. I can't seem to find it in
writing anymore (maybe they updated the site?), but as a
freenode regular, I was always under the impression that
they didn't like bots. </div>

I was a regular on one or two channels a few years back, and they
had bots. I never heard anything against them. <br>
<br>
I suppose they might have changed the policy.<br>
<br>
( I would have thought it'd be a channel policy, not a network
one. )<br>

Yes, that's the #freenode ruleset. You need to check the MOTD for
the specific server you're on to see if it has a bot policy, but
usually well-behaved ones are fine.<br>
<br>
I run a few on other networks without drama, none on Freenode
however...<br>
<br>
