I was mostly ignoring this freenode drama until now, I didn't have enough fucks to care. At the very least I was hoping for things to settle down before making an informed decision to move or not.
But this kind of behavior really calls into question the suitability of Andrew Lee to be a leader/owner of a project like freenode.
- trenchgun 5y agoHe is not the leader/owner of the project freenode. Freenode the project has moved to libera.chat. Lee owns Freenodes servers and user data - althought illegitimately. You can't buy the ownership of a volunteer project like that.
- immibis 5y agoI'm hearing he didn't even own the servers, which were mostly run by volunteers.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoThe servers aren't owned by volunteers but provided free of charge by a number of companies (mostly not related to Lee) All they get in return is a small acknowledgement on the MOTD and the acknowledgement page. They are managed by the volunteers though, and the sponsoring authorities don't get operator rights on the network.

- grayhatter 5y agoCalls it into question? I'd suggest a mass resignation would call it into question. This just proves they were right to resign.
- immibis 5y agoIt happened in stages. Each stage a bigger red flag than the last. Seems this red flag was big enough for you. I wonder what the next flag will be.
