Can someone who is more in the know help me: is the move away from the Freenode name (or rebranding) a way to leave the project as it is (keeping existing functionality and thereby ensuring backwards compatibility)? Or is it because of a disagreement between maintainers, or something else?
- dsr_ 5y agoFreenode's management changed. Libera.Chat is a new organization with new servers not associated with Freenode -- but many organizations that had previously maintained IRC channels on Freenode are moving to Libera.Chat.
- zmatt 5y agoLibera is effectively the spiritual continuation of freenode, managed by the former freenode operators. Freenode on the other hand is now under control of new management, which has in very short time already managed to prove itself inept and abusive.
