The person who forced themselves into ownership of freenode is closely associated with this dumpster fire.

  Projects moving forward towards obscurity and uselessness? What's going on with the website for freenode? Regarding lies, your story seems highly unlikely, and the communities have already made a decision. Sleep well knowing that having access to boundless finances does not make one a useful and well regarded person.

The project and protocol has been led by Joseph Poon (creator of Bitcoin's Lightning Network), Andrew Lee (CEO of Purse), Andrew Lee (founder of Private Internet Access or PIA) and Christopher Jeffrey (CTO of Purse). This is far more than just someone who donated some money. The claims of guilt by association here are not just association. Andre Lee was 1 of the 4 people leading the project. He'll no doubt continue with the above disengenous BS but the facts are there for anyone that lived through it or who cares to look.

How did you determine that? I’ve dug through somewhat superficially on the website and github repo and struggled to find anything.

> themselves into ownership of freenode is closely associated Wonderful. Using a guilt by association to discredit a project due to someone else's involvement rather than critiquing the technology and its goals. Facebook have been involved with allowing the spread of misinformation, hate crimes, etc and have built systems that use Rust to aid this and are also a platinum member (Amongst other surveillance big tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc) involved with funding the Rust Foundation. Given that deep association, does that mean you should stop learning and using Rust?

  By close association, I mean the co-founder of Handshake is also responsible for the downfall of freenode, personally. Even disregarding the hostile takeover of a community, it was rasengans ineptitude that fueled the massive exodus.
