- NicoJuicy 5y agoJesus. As someone who used freenode a lot and still humps on it sometimes, it really hurts to see communities "burn" like this. It's immoral.
- geofft 5y agoThe community still exists, it's just on Libera. Same people, same channel, different network.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoI agree, but my memories are still from irc ;) I'm glad they moved to libera, but this shouldn't have happened like it did in the first place.
- geofft 5y agoLibera is an IRC network too! It's run by the same people who used to run Freenode! I agree it shouldn't have happened, but everything is intact except for the name "Freenode." It's not like they moved to Discord or something (well, there is also a very large Python Discord, but the IRC channel is around too).
- NicoJuicy 5y agoAh, i saw libera popping up but didn't check it out . A comment where somebody mentioned that they would script their community back together made me think it wasn't irc and admins would replace their scripts to support the new platform.
- SahAssar 5y agoIt's still IRC.
- gwerbret 5y agoThis is probably the clearest example of rasengan's thought processes so far. It's remarkable how nothing he was told -- about why #python was moving, about what actually constitutes a "community" -- even registered, so bent was he on the idea that his "customers" were being taken away.
