Freenode Apologizes as Prominent Open Source Projects Switch to Libera Chat reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scrutinizer80 · 2021-05-29 15:44 Too little too late. Also, "Freenode" can't apologize since Freenode is the community. That community is now LiberaChat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FFClass · 2021-05-29 16:28 What the fuck did they expect, honestly? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- funkie · 2021-05-29 16:33 1. Says there is no excuse for his actions 2. Says channels were closed by accident That's not how apologies work ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DanNeely · 2021-05-29 16:59 3 refuses to reopen channels while doubling down on "mentioning libera.chat = ban" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scrutinizer80 · 2021-05-29 17:03 IRC management requires a lot of social nuance and experience. Circumstances aside, this man has obvious ego issues which makes him unfit for the role. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-05-29 17:11 I've been kinda watching this unfold with my jaw on the floor the whole time. It's like at every turn they make the worst possible decisions. I was idling in #fsf when they were discussing what to do, and I was pretty shocked by how many people support Freenode still. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-05-29 17:24 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scrutinizer80 · 2021-05-29 17:30 They need to get into their heads that the current freenode is not Freenode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-05-29 18:02 100%! If you’ve been happy with Freenode for years then Libera is Freenode now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gertrudedude69 · 2021-05-29 18:22 just come to rizon it's great ---------------------------------------------------------------------- trevor00x0 · 2021-05-29 20:13 Yes sir ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gertrudedude69 · 2021-05-29 20:15 great services great policies great people ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HCrikki · 2021-05-29 22:54 There's no stopping an exodus to libera after so many disruptive hostile actions from kpop prince and his henchmen. The lesser active irc networks at least had the decency of staying honest despite shrinking userbases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HCrikki · 2021-05-29 22:56 "We love Leenode and have no plan to switch to libera.chat" BANNED too ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Techman- · 2021-05-29 23:01 In one of his lawsuits, plaintiffs alleged that he would do cocaine openly while at London Trust Media/Private Internet Access. Also supposedly cheated on his wife and child with a mistress, which he brought to the office. Edit: Case number BC596372 in the Super Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Morphie-peer · 2021-05-30 00:00 Can you stop spamming now ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pandakekok9 · 2021-05-30 02:38 Nah, the consensus on the #fsf meeting is to move away from Freenode. Those people supporting the new management are either paid shills or rasengan alts. Whether it's been decided which network to move to, that I don't know yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-05-30 02:48 Oh I know, the wide majority are definitely not ok with the current Freenode, but some of them were loudly supportive and at least a couple of them I know are legit about it, I looked them up to check. It's so weird. Last I saw it hadn't been decided. There were a lot of eyes on that channel because it's a huge one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- danievdm · 2021-05-30 08:56 Way too late - quite happily set up at Libera Chat and trust they'll run it like it was always run... This type of apology reminds me very much of Facebook (who keep apologising). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-06-01 10:34 Agreed...the best by far.
