| joerg | [15 Jun 2021 02:20:30] [Notice] -keitwo- [Global Notice 1/3] We are moving past legacy freenode to a new fork. The new freenode is launched. You will slowly be disconnected and when you reconnect, you will be on the new freenode. We patiently await to welcome you in freedom's holdout - the freenode. | 02:41 |
| joerg | [15 Jun 2021 02:20:41] [Notice] -keitwo- [Global Notice 2/3] If you're looking to connect now, you can already /server chat.freenode.net 6697 (ssl) or 6667 (plaintext). It's a new genesis for a new era. Thank you for using freenode, and Hello World, from the future. freenode is IRC. freenode is FOSS. freenode is freedom. | 02:41 |
| joerg | [15 Jun 2021 02:20:47] [Notice] -keitwo- [Global Notice 3/3] When you connect, register your nickname and your channel and get started. It's a new world. We're so happy to welcome you and the millions of others. We will be posting more information in the coming days on our website and twitter. Otherwise, see you on the other side! | 02:41 |
| freeteet | Gus? | 14:12 |
| enyc | freeteet: not sure what Gus is meaning ??!? | 14:13 |
| freeteet | I am looking for him... I could not find him. But by temporarily taking his name, I found he registered. | 14:19 |
| freeteet | So I will catch up with him eventually. | 14:20 |
| freeteet | That is good. | 14:20 |
| sicelo | Lol, you can find that out without assuming his name | 14:21 |
| freeteet | Hmm. I wonder why it says he's not online though. I expected him to be here. | 14:22 |
| sicelo | This is not WhatsApp ;-) | 14:25 |
| drathir_tor | sicelo: ^^ | 14:32 |
| drathir_tor | sicelo: \o | 14:32 |
| sicelo | Hey hi | 14:32 |
| drathir_tor | sicelo: ;D definitelly nice to see "old" team around... | 14:34 |
| sicelo | Maemo is a uniting force, for life ;-) | 14:35 |
| drathir_tor | sicelo: ++ | 14:41 |
| KotCzarny | fun read: https://www.devever.net/~hl/freenode_suicide | 14:41 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: yea especially conclusion of users on server ^^ ;p | 14:41 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: just personal little castle now... ;p *hides* | 14:42 |
| KotCzarny | you can be unprofessional, but not if you want to entice people to use your services :) | 14:42 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: to being honest i know thats comming from shady takeover approach (thanks for mods warning all of us) and such overnight changes definitely not helps with transparency same with just wipe the channels out from nowhere and to being honest i really in other scenario not mind mods learning normally, but literally taking ppl from playgound to handle mature network where ppl have just registered | 14:48 |
| drathir_tor | nicks or few month old and no one recognise nicks definitely not good sign... | 14:48 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: in short still will good remember old good freenode and what happens "after" lets better become a silence after R.I.P. ^^ ;p | 14:49 |
| KotCzarny | i just dont understand how they wanted to achieve by breaking the fn with every action they took (the new owners) | 14:49 |
| KotCzarny | s/how/what/ | 14:49 |
| netman69 | tbh i am glad lee pulled the plug, we'll be rid of the fragmentation soon | 14:51 |
| KotCzarny | hehe | 14:51 |
| KotCzarny | and bots/idle sessions | 14:51 |
| netman69 | i can't imagine they'd like turn around from say yesterday and become the old freenode again | 14:51 |
| KotCzarny | practically libera got all the active users, and fn just stayed with bots/sessions | 14:52 |
| netman69 | so as crazy as people look at it, i think he made the best decision xD | 14:52 |
| KotCzarny | hehe | 14:52 |
| KotCzarny | ya, it can turn out into positive (i've lost one channel that moved to oftc tho) | 14:52 |
| netman69 | even if lee resigned and somehow got the old staff back on freenode, we'd be left fragmented | 14:53 |
| KotCzarny | nah | 14:53 |
| KotCzarny | they wont be coming back | 14:53 |
| netman69 | ofc they want | 14:53 |
| netman69 | but the point is that bandaid had to come off eventually, better be sooner than later | 14:54 |
| KotCzarny | all he can do is give away the domain but retain some ads on the webpage etc | 14:54 |
| netman69 | s/want/won't/ | 14:54 |
| KotCzarny | if it happened, there would be libera.chat servers with irc.freenode.com pointing to them | 14:55 |
| netman69 | in an ideal world | 14:55 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: yea im really willing that "king" just shut it down instead at takeover day than to let made it suffer like that... | 14:55 |
| netman69 | current situation is pretty close to that xD | 14:55 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 14:55 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: i really would be scared of ppl willing re-register at fn again... | 14:57 |
| KotCzarny | only if they must | 14:57 |
| KotCzarny | or if they didnt hear the neww | 14:57 |
| KotCzarny | *news | 14:58 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: even if need admit for a while i thought about secure my nick just in case... | 14:58 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: but got to conclusion that not worth a hassle anymore... | 14:58 |
| KotCzarny | ya | 14:58 |
| KotCzarny | fn is dead, long live libera! | 14:59 |
| drathir_tor | \o/ | 14:59 |
| drathir_tor | netman69: even if "king" free the domain i doubt current staff would willing actively use it... | 15:00 |
| netman69 | well yeah it's just a hypothetical but rather unlikely situation | 15:03 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: i more would guess "king" will reuse name for some hosting service instead to get profit ;p | 15:04 |
| KotCzarny | anyway, nice example how not to treat people | 15:04 |
| drathir_tor | netman69: damage was maded to fn and no one after such shady moves take it seriously for IRC purposes... | 15:05 |
| netman69 | exactly my point | 15:06 |
| netman69 | thats why its better for lee to fully destroy it | 15:06 |
| netman69 | end the limbo | 15:06 |
| drathir_tor | KotCzarny: yea or consider users as ppl ^^ ;p | 15:07 |
