I had to enable "showdead" on Hacker News to read the banned comments from Andrew Lee (yes, he is active on HN) and see if he has anything to say about #Freenode ... His troll level here is over 9000!

RIP my 8-year #Freenode account.


Apparently, Andrew Lee just did the #Freenode Great Purge. Now everyone's nick and channel records are gone at the new server.


This is the most spectacular shooting in one's foot for a long, long time.

More #NonfreeNode update: Gentoo #Freenode channels have been hijacked https://www.gentoo.org/news/2021/05/26/gentoo-freenode-channels-hijacked.html

Today (2021-05-26) a large number of Gentoo channels have been hijacked by Freenode staff, including channels that were not yet migrated to Libera.chat. We cannot perceive this otherwise than as an open act of hostility and we have effectively left Freenode. 💣💥


News update from NonfreeNode by Andrew Lee... https://web.archive.org/web/20210525231635/https://freenode.net/news/for-foss

> freenode has been the home for the entire FOSS community for over 20 years. Fracturing the community only hurts users and FOSS. Your users don’t wish to migrate. Stop forcing them.

You know what? "Fracturing the community only hurts users and FOSS?" Hilarious. 🤣 #Freenode #NonfreeNode


The last person leaving #freenode please switch off the lights.


Wir ziehen unseren IRC-Channel von #freenode auf #hackint um.

IRC: ircs://irc.hackint.org/#cccc
Web: https://webirc.hackint.org/#irc://irc.hackint.org/#cccc


they are up but the messages don't seem to get delivered. I haven't extensively tested but #freenode channel definitely doesn't work and my random channel see no interserver traffic either. Which is kind of curious since ircops leaving usually don't stop message passing…


Holy clusterfuck! #freenode is basically no more.
Hostile takover, getting rid of community leaders, blackmailing, money, revenge.
I'm speechless.
