- mech422 5y agoYeah... it's rather sad. It's like a kid kicking down a sand castle just out of spite...
- jeltz 5y agoNo, he is kicking down the sand castle because the other kids did not want to play with him.
- batch12 5y agoMore like pissing on the sand castle and getting mad when nobody wants to play.
- barneygale 5y agoFreenode has more cultural cachet than that. It's more like burning a library.
- kemayo 5y agoI'm fairly certain that literally doing nothing at all after the takeover / Libera-split news broke would have been incredibly better for them. Just... hunker down, don't touch any policies, or do anything beyond normal maintenance for three months or so. I bet things would have died down, with far less migration off Freenode. Even if they started to do these current objectionable things later, the momentum would be gone.
- gerikson 5y agoThis is what makes the current situation so amazing. Literally not doing anything apart from keeping the servers up would be infinitely better.
- manabi 5y agoLee's showing signs of Malignant Narcissism Personality Disorder. People with that condition simply cannot accept failure. They _can't_ fail, it's always someone else's fault, and anything/anyone who makes it look like the narcissist failed much be punished. Looked at in that light, everything Lee's done makes twisted sense. A new network was created by the IRCOps who left, so Libera has to be punished, and any mention of it must be punished. IRC Cloud dared to criticize Lee, no matter how mildly? They must be punished, who cares about collateral damage. He's going to continue this pattern until there's nothing left, and he'll rant and rave continually that it's everyone else's fault, not his. It's going to get much, _much_ worse.
