It is ironic, but not at all surprising to me, that "free speech" in the context of current Freenode means being not enforcing codes of conduct (so being transphobia-friendly among other things), but an iron moderation grip on any criticism of the network itself.
- marcan_42 5y agoThey're not just transphobia-friendly; one of their new ops got opped right after uttering a transphobic slur in a very transphobic sentence. Their own staff are openly transphobes.
- hluska 5y agoIf any trans people read this, I’m sorry some people are like that but I love the hell out of you.
- diogenesjunior 5y agoWow, what a king.

- Gaelan 5y agoNot a sentence I expected to see on HN today. Thank you.
- 1337shadow 5y agoNo problem, I'm trans and I'm not forcing anyone to like it. Just don't punch me in the face or something. I'm back on freenode because I like that that freedom of speech even when I disagree, this must be my Voltaire-ish side.
- teakettle42 5y agoYou’re correct; if they actually supported free speech values, criticism of the network should clearly have been allowed, too.
- squarefoot 5y agoThey're banning people just for naming other networks, even without open criticism. I would expect that behavior from unexperienced children who didn't have time to develop social values, not from grown ups.
- mlang23 5y agoThat is going with the times then. Feels like covid politics. So why arent people loving Lee for what they do? After all, "shut up and comply" is the new wave of democratics.
