The DarkenerI have a kind of running New Years tradition that I join the Libera (and before that, Freenode) IRC official New Years channel. I've been doing IRC since 1999 and it just kinda feels like home =)
Alien BOB@thomasbourdon #Liberachat ? I left the ##slackware channnel a while ago and will not return there unless Tadgy is removed as a channel OP.
No Time To PlayWell then. #LiberaChat has decided that my ISP is suspicious enough to require a SASL connection, for which I need to register with their nickserv... for which I first need to connect from another IP. Guess what, it's nowhere near that important for me.
This is how the open internet dies.

Ich:
Hihihi. Die Leute hier im Internet sollen heute irgendwelchen Freaks aus der Familie kostenlos bei Computerproblemen helfen.
Auch ich:
(Helfe heute irgendwelchen Freaks im IRC kostenlos bei der Spambekämpfung.)
Hmpf.
niconiconiLooks like a bunch of Internet trolls just wrote an IRC bot to join all #IRC channels of all public IRC servers on the whole Internet, bridging their own channel to the world for broadcasting racial slurs... 
On #LiberaChat, it lasted 10 minutes before it was K-Lined by sysops, and they're still trying to make a come back based on my logs (update: they did it on and off for hours with different botnet IPs).

Morgan AldridgeJust signed off of #liberachat while their relays are being invaded and all sorts of racist messages are being sent out globally on all channels. I wish the @liberachat admins all the best!

Luke T. ShumakerA few years out... I'm still confused what the point of the Freenode reset was.
Like I get the takeover and the ops leaving and starting Libera Chat and Freenode taking over channels that promoted Libera Chat.
But wtf did they think a network reset would do? Like, if you're going to kick literally everyone, what was the point in taking over the network?
