Here's the statement from the Andrew Lee himself: https://gist.github.com/realrasengan/88549ec34ee32d01629354e4075d2d48 https://gist.github.com/realrasengan/88549ec34ee32d01629354e... according to hackaday https://hackaday.com/2021/05/20/freenode-debacle-prompts-staff-exodus-new-network/ https://hackaday.com/2021/05/20/freenode-debacle-prompts-sta... I have no idea who this tomaw person is and why they all hate Lee so much, or why they accuse him of bribery when he offers to pay his volunteers. I mean if you're just some scrappy online hacker and the crown fucking prince of a wealthy country reaches out to you directly and says he needs your support: you say yes!
- wearywanderer 5y agoNot everybody is so easily impressed by the bullshit titles claimed by pretenders.
- aahortwwy 5y ago> the crown fucking prince of a wealthy country South Korea is a republic.
- marcescence 5y agoHe is quite literally the crown prince of the Yi dynasty, the latest imperial lineage of Korea [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Lee_(entrepreneur) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Lee_(entrepreneur)
- aahortwwy 5y agoI know who he is. Neither the Republic of Korea or the DPRK have a monarchy at this moment in history.
- jart 5y agoSouth Korea is part of America's club. Their prince was raised in Indiana as an American. There appears to be folks out there who view Korea as his birthright. Real magnanimous of us that we won't even let him run an IRC network he lawfully purchased. Talk about haan. As far as I can tell, he was just trying to help, and make IRC be more competitive with Slack.
