I joined the channel and saw bots entering it, and leaving spammy messages.
I also noticed that the +r flag was gone from the channel! I don't know why or
how it happened. I've been disconnected from IRC in the meantime.

I've used instructions from https://botbot.me/how-to-setup-irc-channel/ to make
the channel invite-only. This time I read the instructions carefully (duh!) and
the setup worked. I've added all nicks currently on the channel to the list, and
nobody else. I didn't add Dago, I didn't remember his Freenode nickname.

Dago, see the above instructions to add yourself to the invite list.

Basically:
/mode #channelname +I $a:<nickofperson>

Let's see if the new setup works.
