Lee's postings on freenode's news keep getting weirder reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonno_FTW · 2021-10-13 02:07 Thought I'd check on how freenode is going, and it just gets crazier. He now says that freenode is the digital territory of the Joseon Empire (the empire that ruled the Korean peninsula). If you read older posts, he referred to freenode as an autonomous zone. I'm amused, but not surprised. https://freenode.net/news/on-power-to-the-people ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicd · 2021-10-13 03:18 What a shame. At least it's entertaining in a way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonno_FTW · 2021-10-13 03:38 Yeah I was interested in seeing how many users were still using freenode after they nuked it for 3rd time, but even that information isn't publicly available. Will have to settle to watching the dumpster fire from afar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PhDinBroScience · 2021-10-13 07:35 Start reading the posts starting at the takeover and go forward with each one. It's like watching a man's descent into madness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- b1501b7f26a1068940cf · 2021-10-13 07:50 r/woosh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wRAR_ · 2021-10-13 08:25 That's two months old but yeah. > He now says that freenode is the digital territory of the Joseon Empire (the empire that ruled the Korean peninsula). This isn't really surprising as he is its crown prince. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonno_FTW · 2021-10-13 10:07 It's just weird that he went from it being autonomous or something, to claiming at his part of his own personal kingdom. No reasonable IRC user would agree that an IRC network could reasonably be considered part of an empire. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonno_FTW · 2021-10-13 10:10 https://frinkiac.com/meme/S06E12/1241039.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wRAR_ · 2021-10-13 10:12 Cocaine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7yearlurkernowposter · 2021-10-13 11:05 Remember all the hate against Rob Levin (lilo) before he died? Simpler times for freenode, eh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- avj · 2021-10-13 14:20 Yeah, those were downright normal times, comparatively. https://www.theregister.com/2003/01/29/buy_a_piece_of_net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lumpenproletarier · 2021-10-13 15:55 "...freenode as an autonomous zone." Has anyone been shot yet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DasBrain · 2021-10-13 16:14 They nuked it a 3rd time? When? How? You mean the SASL only? That's the point where I said: Ok, it's dead. Otherwise I'm out of the loop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ThatOneRoadie · 2021-10-13 17:20 You spelled "Clown" wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-10-13 20:58 He’s not even legitimately that probably ---------------------------------------------------------------------- balljointedmae · 2021-10-13 21:09 It’s kinda sad and worrying tbh. It looks like he’s getting to Terry A. Davis levels of detachment from reality pretty quick and it’s sad to see it happen. I genuinely hope he gets the help he needs and soon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zeno0771 · 2021-10-13 21:27 With that much money, there are way too many stakeholders and sycophants around him to allow that to happen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonno_FTW · 2021-10-13 21:54 Yeah the sasl thing was the last one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wRAR_ · 2021-10-14 08:32 "In October 2018, Yi Seok, a member of the House of Yi and one of the pretenders to the defunct imperial throne of Korea, declared Lee the crown prince of Korea at a ceremony in Los Angeles", though I have no idea (and don't really care) how legitimate is that. But it's certainly a nice touch to his image. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-10-14 13:11 Yeah it’s mostly right there in your quote. “One of the pretenders to the defunct imperial throne” Even if the throne wasn’t defunct it’s not clear that he would hold it. Plus his reason for naming Lee the crown prince was Lee being descended from royalty but nothing has been shown to support that claim either. It’s such a weird situation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wRAR_ · 2021-10-14 14:38 > his reason for naming Lee the crown prince was Lee being descended from royalty LOL I thought it's just title selling plain and simple ---------------------------------------------------------------------- panickedthumb · 2021-10-14 14:40 Probably a lot of that too. I imagine the stated reason was bullshit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wRAR_ · 2021-10-14 14:42 sure ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Atario · 2021-10-15 10:55 It's even worse now. You can't get in at all because their cert expired on the fourth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wRAR_ · 2021-10-18 06:20 :D
