TIL that free speech is when you larp as a monarch and ban everyone who doesn't worship you.

Libera Chat is not responsible for the spam. It's a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_job .

The evidence suggests that is not the case. Freenode has already lost almost half of its users in the last month and the projections suggest that Libera Chat will overtake freenode…

Yeah I heard that. It's GPLv2 licensed so he's free to use it (if he can even migrate his services database without corrupting it) but his lackies have been informed that they will…

https://isfreenodedeadyet.com/ and https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php are useful. The former has PRIVMSG (message) statistics which show that Libera Chat is considerably more a…

I'm glad you find my work useful. :)

Within IRC culture networks exist to serve the projects and users not the other way around. Failing to understand this is why leenode is losing users in the first place.

As the maintainer of one of the more popular IRC server implementations I know a giant chunk of the Libera Chat (formerly freenode) staff pretty well and whilst we may disagree fre…

So basically this is Hacker News but where rasengan can ban the people who are not being sufficiently idolatrous towards him? It's a crying shame how one of the oldest surviving FL…

>Current global users: 68347 A week ago freenode had 78644 users according to netsplit. Bragging about tanking your user count by 10k in a week (and its still dropping, it's at 667…

Not to defend rasengan (my opinion of him and his freenode tyrancy is severely negative and I fully support the actions of the ex-freenode now-Libera.Chat team) but as someone who …

Whilst that is true as I have explicitly stated there is no intercept capability on the infrastructure that I have access to. If you're willing to believe some completely unverifia…

As the maintainer of InspIRCd i'm biased towards it but ngircd is a pretty solid piece of software if you only want something which is simple and easy to set up without a bunch of …

Full disclosure: i'm being paid to work on InspIRCd for use on the IRC.com network. This is my personal opinion not an official statement on behalf of my employer. The IRC server s…

The 'tls' extension is not actually TLS support. It is a method of upgrading plaintext connections to TLS via the STARTTLS command. It has some design problems and is going to be r…

IRCv3 makes writing software easier not more complicated. Take the "away-notify" extension for example. Without it you would have to repeatedly poll a channel with WHO to see if al…

It is simpler for us to work on stuff by ourselves rather than getting the bureaucratic nightmare which is the IETF involved. IRC has never followed the RFCs strictly (even RFC 145…

Edited messages are on my TODO for inclusion in IRCv3.3.

>My favourite bit is how they skipped adding length negotiation and it is causing them problems already. We are working on it but when you have hundreds of different implementation…

This is not how IRCv3 works. We have contributors from almost every single major IRC network and implementation.

>ZNC guys and Atheme guys did not get along because political reasons, so they threatened to fork the project. I do not wish to start an argument over things which are long dead. H…

Almost everything you have said is false. Please cease this defamation. >IRCv3 is an almost closed group of friends, mostly znc core developers There is only one ZNC developer acti…

Full disclosure: I am one of the developers on the aforementioned IRC server. In a future release InspIRCd will adopt support for the server-time extension which will allow us to g…
