If Freenode was shutting down it would be closer to "gmail is shutting down" IMHO.

According to another comment in this thread, Freenode has 90k CCU, with hundreds of thousands over a period of a few months. The best number I can find for gmail is here [0], which shows Gmail had 72 million active users on android 6 years ago. Sorry to say but Freenode shutting down wouldn't even be a blip compared to gmail shutting down

I believe it was meant in proportion to the size of email vs IRC.

> Sorry to say but

Please just drop that prefix.

The scale requested was actually:

> On a scale of 'Rando County Legacy ISP-provided email service' to 'Gmail' is shutting down, where does this lie?
