False, see this snippet from #freenode:
15:04 <@Fuchs> as it is clearly stated in my letter, this was a draft
that was not supposed to be published, but a draft from
a colleague that linked to mine got indexed by a search
engine and found
15:04 <@Fuchs> as of right now, none of us resigned, freenode is still
ran by the same volunteers that ran it for the past 2
decades, and the rest is rumours and hearsay, we'll gladly
officially communicate when we can, until then I'd suggest
taking any rants, pastebins, articles and the likes with a
grain of salt
- FDSGSG 5y agoFake logs, you can't have newlines in IRC messages!
- phoe-krk 5y agoInstall irssi! Newlines magically appear on their own, and it's really nice to not need to scroll left/right to read long messages.
- FDSGSG 5y agoShouldn't your terminal handle this even if you were using netcat to chat? If the client was injecting newlines that would end up being rather unpleasant when pasting chats into a different channel.
- phoe-krk 5y agoThat would prevent indenting the messages to the length of the nickname. Irssi performs manual linewrapping to achieve that.

- _flux 5y agoWho uses netcat to chat? Not only it injects newlines, it injects indentation. You can always 1) paste from logs 2) paste from the in-memory rawlog Irssi keeps or 3) use a script like xsel | tr '\t' ' ' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/ */ /g' | tee >(xsel -i) | xsel -ib to your clipboard (yes it uses tr uselessly) Copy-pasteability is not really the goal of apps that use ncurses or similar interfaces. Side-by-side windows break it also.
- Ndymium 5y agoSure you can, CTCP supports sending multiline messages. I even wrote support for them in an IRC lib I made once upon a time. No other client that I know of supports them, though.
- Aeolun 5y agoThat doesn’t necessarily make it false, it just means the rabbit hole is even deeper.
- wrycoder 5y agoThe current staff is very different. Christel is apparently gone. Only kloeri remains. https://freenode.net/people https://freenode.net/people Edit: Also compare to the staff listed in this deleted freenode blog linked by @gwd below. https://web.archive.org/web/20210423231439/https://freenode.net/news/freenode-reorg https://web.archive.org/web/20210423231439/https://freenode.... Edit 2: Who is OFTC and how do they fit in?
- johnmaguire 5y agoOFTC is another IRC network - irc.oftc.net
- em-bee 5y agoOFTC was founded by people who didn't like how freeenode was run. but that was quite some time ago. i don't remember the details but there were some issues very early on, and the people responsible for those issues left long ago.
- rasengan 5y agoOFTC is a competing IRC network run by tomaw who also is staging a hostile takeover of freenode as we speak.
- nenolod 5y agoOFTC is run by the OFTC board (of which tomaw is a member) on behalf of Software in the Public Interest, who originally organized it for Debian.
- wrycoder 5y agoAccording to the current freenode people page, tomaw is head of staffing, projects and communities and also the overall project lead in charge of the other heads. Edit: here’s the staff as of 23 Apr. tomaw is still there today, the rest are gone, including fuchs. https://web.archive.org/web/20210423231451/https://freenode.net/people https://web.archive.org/web/20210423231451/https://freenode....
- ceejayoz 5y ago"I am about to resign along with most other Freenode staff" isn't really that much better.
- marlowe221 5y agoYeah, I can't recall ever drafting and saving/keeping a resignation letter from a job (volunteer or otherwise) that I didn't intend to leave...
- RhodesianHunter 5y agoNevermind posting it on the internet, indexed or not.
- pawelk 5y agoI did this many times, usually on the verge of a burnout. Almost every time, except for the final one, it helped me identify the pain points as well as the highlights, find ways to fix the underlying issues then get back to speed and regain satisfaction from work. I think it's a great way to gather more insight about yourself and your workplace. Try drafting one now especially if you do not intend to leave :)
- gadaprog 5y agoAgree. That said, keep it somewhere only you can see until you act upon it (if you even do).
- wolverine876 5y ago> Yeah, I can't recall ever drafting and saving/keeping a resignation letter from a job (volunteer or otherwise) that I didn't intend to leave... Writing letters that you don't send is an effective, practical, recommended way to manage anger and other emotions. It's even better than posting angry rants on the Internet. :)

- 5y ago
- ineedasername 5y agoNot "false". A draft. It might never get published and the person may never resign, but it's not false.
- oceliker 5y agoThey say "false", not "fake", unless it's been edited in the past 6 minutes.
- ineedasername 5y agoPretty sure it was edited, that's why I used the quotes. I could be wrong though so I'll modify mine.
- Havoc 5y agoOuch. This type of thing is a self-fullfilling prophecy in a way
- MeatBro 5y agoRant: Freenode advertises a specific religion on CTC message of the day, definitely hate that.
