Yes, both networks are starting with metaphorical trustworthiness level at zero.
Libera, however, has a lot of implicit trust and goodwill because it is run by all the people who have been successfully running Freenode for all these years. These people have had a lot of time to screw users over for whatever reason, but have proven themselves to be honorable.
Freenode, on the other hand, is right now accruing "negative goodwill" by the bushels almost every day, thanks to its heavy-handed actions and communication.
Time will tell, I guess, but the optics are looking pretty one-sided, in my opinion.
- sampo 5y ago> it is run by all the people who have been successfully running Freenode for all these years Not all: 2006-2021 head of staff, Dahlskjaer, resigned in February 2021. Some sources maybe hint that there was some drama involved.
- account42 5y agoThe same head of staff that sold Freenode. So there being drama does in anyway hint at the libera staff being untrustworthy.
- wearywanderer 5y agoDahlskjaer not being involved makes Libera more trustworthy, not less. They are the one who precipitated this entire mess.
- pferde 5y agoFair enough, my wording was incorrect, and you are technically correct (the best kind of correct). :) What I should have said is "All of the people currently running Libera have been successfully running Freenode for all these years."
