freenode is dead. Everything it stood for is dead.
Staff tout free speech, but they apparently only mean troll speech since anyone speaking against them or announcing new homes is getting channels stolen and users banned. It's disgusting.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoWhat I don't understand is why they double down on this destructive behaviour. It's a really excellent way to piss off those that hadn't left yet (and as such must have been leaning towards their side!), nothing else. But really what they're doing is the opposite of responsible and fair management. I don't want a network to be run like this.
- proactivesvcs 5y agoI guess it goes with the personality type. They are right, irrelevant of the blatant facts fleeing out the door every day, and blog posts detailing their malcontent every week.
- Biganon 5y agoFreenode is not dead, it has a new name. And everything it stood for is especially not dead.
- Libcat99 5y agoSure, the communities have moved on. This is what Lee did not understand. freenode was never something he could own. freenode was communities of people. The servers were donated, provided by people in the communities who wanted a reliable network. The staff were members of those communities, developers for those projects, and all volunteers. The users never were freenode users, they were ubuntu, and debian, and ham radio, and gimp users. There was nothing to OWN. And now that someone who has no clue about any of this does, they leave in droves.
