Why is freenode doing all this? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zedSuperior · 2022-03-01 17:26 Why don't they just shut down freenode rather than have to ban IRC clients like IRCCLOUD from using freenode. And they exclaim that their plan to shut down freenode has failed. At this point cant they just pull the plug I do not see the point with all of this ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nath_ · 2022-03-01 17:29 holy shit what have they done to their website lmao ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mccobsta · 2022-03-01 17:51 It's now like all those "free speech" reddit clones where the admins ban you for anything ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mccobsta · 2022-03-01 17:53 Owner is still getting something out of there's still a lot of users connected even though it's pretty dead ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-03-01 18:21 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- McDutchie · 2022-03-01 19:15 Because the person owning the joint now is insane. There is no sense seeking reason where there isn't any. Just join [libera.chat](https://libera.chat/) instead, that's where the sane freenode community moved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tubbo · 2022-03-01 19:33 this ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zedSuperior · 2022-03-01 19:52 Doesnt he also own private internet access the vpn? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tekhion · 2022-03-01 20:11 wait what the god damned hell is that ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mccobsta · 2022-03-01 20:31 He founded it then sold it to a company that used to make malware ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-03-01 21:06 He founded it. But now it's a subsidiary of an Israeli malware manufacturer, Kape Technologies; even worse than its origins in the hands of a narcissistic "crown prince". Andrew didn't understand that it was the community(ies) that made freenode, not the hosting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-03-01 21:20 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- frumious · 2022-03-01 22:42 HSTS declared and an SSL cert expired for a few days is icing on the cake. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thischildslife · 2022-03-01 23:47 Rizon is where all the cool kids are. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- t0pfuel · 2022-03-02 12:54 >freenode What on earth, the crazy shit does not end. Well at least it's good entertainment. You never know what is next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anths · 2022-03-02 15:41 > Why is freenode doing all this? The dominant theory seems to be “cocaine”. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- McDutchie · 2022-03-02 18:59 My money is on [malignant narcissism](https://www.healthline.com/health/malignant-narcissism). Although that by no means excludes cocaine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zedSuperior · 2022-03-02 23:07 Uh one of my favorite yters promotes the VPN bro. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zedSuperior · 2022-03-02 23:07 what is this man doing with his life ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mccobsta · 2022-03-03 12:09 Probably just trying to make a quick buck whilst not giving a shit about what he dose on the way ---------------------------------------------------------------------- throwawhatwhenwhere · 2023-02-05 17:11 Youtubers selling out to VPNs?
