RIP Freenode. Not sure how it can come back from this sort of activity; who would trust it?
@jlj Yeah, I think that era is over. RIP Freenode. (But hey, SourceForge is still around, too. You never know.)

@jlj @movq Well, Leenode just wants to be burned down. https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/1643#issuecomment-848439865
@jlj @movq @lyse I don’t understand why any of this is happening 😱

@lyse @movq That's a perfect example of what this silliness looks like to outsiders: no one can speak in my commandeered channel, so I guess we have to move. Unbelievable.
@prologic To be honest, all I understand is: “Freenode got bought by someone and then weird stuff happened.” I don’t know what they’re up to. I wouldn’t even care, if they (Freenode) didn’t rename some channels I’ve been in and if they didn’t post paranoid stuff like “their plan to destroy us has failed!@1!” on their front page. It’s all very strange. New owner, renamed channels, paranoia, what? I don’t care. I just got outta there. 🙃

@prologic @movq Here's a quick FAQ writeup: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/df80d8d36cd9d1bde46ba018af497409 And some more reports of evidence, there's also a part 2: https://www.devever.net/~hl/freenode_abuse
@movq @lyse Thanks!
