Looking for a new IRC network reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _luvfur_ · 2021-06-17 22:32 I am looking for a new IRC network for some fun and nice conversations outside of Freenode/Leenode and Libera. Can you recommend me some (maybe with some nice channels)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Revolutionary_Cydia · 2021-06-17 22:35 anonops, 2600, efnet, dalnet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- snowice0 · 2021-06-17 22:45 I heard 2600 was pretty cool ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sully42 · 2021-06-17 22:49 Snoonet is cool ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _luvfur_ · 2021-06-17 22:55 afaik Snoonet belongs to PIA, and PIA belongs to Leenet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sully42 · 2021-06-17 22:55 TIl High 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nat_RH · 2021-06-17 22:59 IRCnow ---------------------------------------------------------------------- l0c0dantes · 2021-06-17 23:25 Rizon if you're a weeb / don't mind the 4chan sensibilities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ase1590 · 2021-06-17 23:49 You're off one. PIA was sold to some Israeli company and Lee no longer has any say over it. Lee's company London Trust Media is the one that has controlling interest over snoonet/freenode ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-06-18 01:23 > nice conversations Not sure 4chan sensibilities really fit with OP’s request here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- l0c0dantes · 2021-06-18 01:29 Different social norms. Much less putting on of airs I find. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GadgetNerd1 · 2021-06-18 02:28 I’m not an expert but anonops sounds kinda illegal.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GadgetNerd1 · 2021-06-18 02:33 Oh thank goodness ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-06-18 04:26 You can also look [indchat.net](https://indchat.net) which was launched last month . FYI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pandakekok9 · 2021-06-18 04:45 There's OFTC, which seems to be the closest match to the old freenode/libera experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zeno0771 · 2021-06-18 05:42 Kape [bought all of London Trust Media](https://www.techradar.com/news/cyberghost-owner-buys-pia-for- dollar955m-to-create-vpn-giant). PIA might have been the only reason anyone cared about them but they were also after private.sh and some other solutions. London Trust already had sketch background; Kape as everyone knows was previously called Crossrider and shilled industrial-grade malware. Lee probably kept Freenode (inasmuch as he ever "owned" it) but at the time of Kape's acquisition he wasn't CEO of London Trust anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AdequateSteve · 2021-06-18 14:49 irc.slashnet.org hosts all of the xkcd related channels. So if you're looking for some general off-topic nerd chat, I'd give it a visit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- megahambone · 2021-06-18 23:35 After freenode died I re-registered my channels on libera, neo- freenode and 2600. Most of my community wound up split between libera and neo-freenode, with the majority at libera Some have been away, they don’t even know what fresh hell awaits them when they get back to their computers and see the freenode that their bnc landed on. I’m hoping to convince my community to move to 2600, but I’m working on getting them all in one place first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-06-21 23:55 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rainbownerdsgirl · 2021-06-23 11:51 I like Rizon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- koree · 2021-07-01 21:12 There's only a few of us there, but [irc.ameth.org](https://irc.ameth.org) is a place with some nice people.
