Jun 03 03:29:39 <kveremitz> wtf is goin on with fosshost!?
Jun 03 10:44:19 <thinkfat> so, I haven't been around for a while and it's an exodus?
Jun 03 10:44:42 <thinkfat> any beef to chew with freenode that prompted the move?
Jun 03 11:07:48 <zmatt> thinkfat: background: https://hackaday.com/2021/05/20/freenode-debacle-prompts-staff-exodus-new-network/
Jun 03 11:13:06 <zmatt> thinkfat: what tipped the balance is that the new freenode management decided it was a good idea to have a bot hijack hundreds of channels that mentioned "libera" in their topic, including #gentoo and various channels in ubuntu's namespace
Jun 03 11:13:40 <zmatt> (libera is the irc network quickly set up by the former freenode operators after their collective resignation)
Jun 03 11:15:43 <zmatt> thinkfat: so that simplified the issue, since regardless of which side is "right", the technical and social ineptitude displayed by the new freenode operators made it undesirable to remain here
