The NickServ info for your nick says you are not verified.

I thought this referred to email verification, but the OFTC news says:
As of 2017-03-26, NickServ will require nick verification via
services.oftc.net for the +R user mode. This affects channels using
the +M and +R channel modes.
In other words, make sure to verify your newly registered nickname
using the web interface.

It looks like you have to login and solve a Google CAPTCHA:

For folks who don't run JS, python3-librecaptcha might be helpful here.

Yes, the recent spam flooding of OFTC and Freenode have caused a lot
of channels to apply +M/+R and similar channel modes to block the
spammers. I guess it might be time to disable that, especially for
#debian-welcome.
