According to rasengan, in his current incarnation as root, the irccloud thing wasn't accidental:
< root> what accidental irccloud blanket ban?
< root> I keep hearing about this?
< mst> I think all of irccloud got k-lined briefly - shit happens
< root> It's intentional for sure.
< root> I think someone accidentally removed it.
< mst> is there a public statement about that anywhere?
(and then nobody ever responded as to why, so I'm afraid that's all I know wrt that particular situation)
- xena 5y ago14:59 <@taw> IRCCloud was not klined by mistake. 14:59 <@taw> We don't allow IRCCloud on freenode. 14:59 <@taw> We offer our own free BNC, if you'd like to use that instead.
- mst 5y agoAlso <@root> irc cloud is banned cuz fck irc cloud <@root> this was not an accident <@root> not a mistake <@root> actually it was supposed to happen a logn time ago
- amatecha 5y agoWhat a clown.
- edwardkmett 5y ago"Use our bouncer or else." Sounds like a very democratic, open source, do what you will solution to me.
- phone8675309 5y agoTheir thought process: "It's only oppression when it happens to me, otherwise it's just my freedom of choice"
- 1337shadow 5y agoNot quite what they said, however, IRCCloud is all but Open Source.
- phoe-krk 5y agoOh, perfect. So it's anticompetitive behavior at its finest.
- duskwuff 5y agoIt's even stupider than that. IRCCloud is a web client which happens to provide some bouncer functionality. Freenode's bouncer is only available over IRC; it requires users to connect with their own IRC client.
- kemayo 5y agoThe IRCCloud thing is my own breaking point for staying connected to Freenode for some channels that hadn't moved yet. I'm not going to switch my entire IRC client setup around because they're being childish and can't stand being criticized. Since I gather that about half the people left in some of those channels were taken out by this k-line, hey, might accelerate the move anyway. :D
- robbyoconnor 5y agoI am so fucking pissed off. I've had my nick for 17 years -- 17 fucking years on freenode -- all gone because a toddler chose to have a meltdown.
