Unlike most IRC takeovers, this involves money, which is a nice twist.

Freenode is now hijacking channels that have indicated that they’re moving to Libre Chat:

lol that’s nuts
who thought that would be a good idea

Someone who owns Freenode but who doesn’t understand Freenode.

smells like melty time

seriously though maybe he’s having a mental breakdown or something. bad decisions compounding worse decisions

New empire territory just dropped: https://freenode.net/news/on-power-to-the-people

Officially become digital territory of the Joseon Empire √

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Joseon (also transcribed as Chosŏn, Korean: 대조선국; 大朝鮮國, lit. 'Great Joseon') was a Korean dynastic kingdom that lasted for approximately five centuries.[13] It was the last dynastic kingdom of Korea.[14] It was founded by Yi Seong-gye in July 1392 and replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897.

Kinda sounds like a regression to me.

Sorry, I keep cracking up at “power to the people but also I’m using my questionable lineage to 19th century Korean royalty to extend their territory in cyberspace as the crown prince of a dead empire”.

lmao
has a Blockchain aspect too

He actually styled himself as HIH - His Imperial Highness, lol
