The comments on all the threads we’ve seen in GitHub, no matter whose side (pro- or anti-Lee statements/sentiments), are what some call “shitposting”. Posting a so-called ‘FAQ’ entitled “what the fuck is going on?” on Microsoft’s GitHub also isn’t helpful (both the language and the platform). Causing distress or what some have called “harassment” won’t help Christel and won’t help anyone. I didn’t fancy some of the language, including statements such as “Fuck you Christel” (she’s female by the way) because having learned the circumstances, that sort of misrepresents what actually happened. I am not fine, but I know that the communities which I have been a part of are not defined by a domain name and will regroup somewhere else.” The people that I have met on IRC, on freenode and other networks, have been and still are a very important part of my life, second only to the ones that I have known thanks to Usenet. Fuck you Christel, lilo’s life work did not deserve this. Marco d’Itri stated (it was in Planet Debian): “To make a long story short, the former freenode head of staff secretly “sold” the network to this person even if it was not hers to sell, and our lawyers have advised us that there is not much that we can do about it without some of us risking financial ruin. Americans of East Asian descent have long suffered from Trumpian politics and calling American people “korean” lends to this idea that certain people, based on their race/roots alone, can never be “true Americans”… Here’s one example calling Lee “Trumpian wannabe korean royalty bitcoins millionaire.” (To quote Marco d’Itri) Some slippery sites then followed with loose claims and what we believe to be mischaracterisations or exaggerations (inflation of claims). Other resignation messages were self-hosted: By means of coincidence, some of the resignations came from people who also signed the RMS hate letter. That’s not to discount or to mock those people, but a better choice of platform would do more justice to the people behind libera.chat (GitHub is the very opposite of “liber” or “libre” anything).

Interestingly enough, about half of all resignations were announced in a proprietary software platform of Microsoft, namely: Long story short, many Freenode volunteers (the word “staff” does not imply salary) created their own alternative to Freenode over at libera.chat (they decided on this domain a long time ago). This afternoon somebody told me about the “shitstorm” brewing - something we had anticipated since last week. In the same way that “cancel RMS” in 2019 was about some tactless E-mails (seen as insensitive towards victims) and in 2021 “cancel RMS” was all about the man coming back to the FSF’s Board (anger superficially boosted and artificially floated by the set of new claims, shifting to a whole different set of poor-quality accusations). But it seems like pretty much the whole catastrophe right now boils down to that. Whether Freenode should be in the business of endorsing Shells, even as a sort of sponsor, is a legitimate ethical question. Shells isn’t something I’d personally use it’s not for me.

They liaised with SUSE earlier this month. That sort of changed lately when the owner of Freenode wanted to promote his brother’s business, Shells, which basically helps raise awareness of GNU/Linux. That owner stayed in the shadows, uninvolved in any direct way.

I am extremely saddened to see Freenode coming under an attack which bears many of the same hallmarks I saw in the “cancel RMS” lobby, initiated partly by former FSF insiders (which gave it legitimacy, at least on the thin surface). Those were done in a hurry and with limited consultation (enquiring and reaching out to involved parties). In the process I rushed to publishing a number of posts about Freenode, culminating in some videos and articles last week. I‘ve spent the past week speaking to many of the parties involved over IRC, E-mail and some social (control) media.

Summary: The Freenode controversy has resulted in what we consider to be disproportionate response, which likely necessitates further mediation for an amicable resolution please do not participate in the anti-Freenode (warped into anti-Lee) rally as it harms Free software more than it helps it Roy Schestowitzīurning Down Freenode is Easy, But at What Cost?įreenode scandal mostly seems to boil down to logos 05.19.21 The Panic Over Freenode Isn’t Justified and Its Reaction Mostly Disproportionate
