hey so why exactly are we blocking airvpn all of the sudden? logged in with SASL, registered for forever, active for forever, and suddenly just booted off the server with "You are banned from this server- Your VPN is not permitted to connect to libera.chat."

Jetzt habe ich die Schnauze voll von #weechat und #LiberaChat 🤯
Keine Ahnung, wer von beiden dafür verantwortlich ist, aber immer wird mein Name benutzt, mit dem ich in meinem PC angemeldet bin. Alleine das ist eine FRECHHEIT! Mit welchem Benutzername ich auf meinem lokalen Computern arbeite, geht euch einen SCHEIßDRECK an 🤬
Da ich vor Jahren schon mal registriert war und nicht bemerkt habe, dass mein PC-Login missbraucht wurde, erhalte ich nun permanent Fehlermeldungen über einen unzulässigen Anmeldevorgang. Ja, weil da Daten in unzulässiger Weise abgegriffen wurden, die NICHTS, aber so was von überhaupt nichts, auf fremden Servern zu suchen haben!
Dies als "default" zu setzen ist ein Unding. Nein, ich habe es nicht geschafft, diese Unsitte abzustellen. Und jetzt ist es mir auch egal. Verzichte ich eben auf meine Beteiligung auf #irc Kanälen.
Mannomann bin ich wütend 😱

Any other #arkansas #hamradio folks on #liberachat ? I'm idling in a room called hamradio-ar if you're interested in chatting off the radio :-)

@hydrian @shollyethan Well, it's not exactly dying. Yes, the popular #irc networks of the 90s have lost a lot of users when social media became popular in the mid-2000s, but numbers have been somewhat stable since the beginning of the decade. Most still have ~10k users, #liberachat has 30k. There are also many other newer networks which are very active and still growing, #hackint is an example (crossed the 10k mark in 2024, still gaining more users).
-
@me @shollyethan #liberachat is the 'fork' after the successful hostile takeover of #freenode.

I 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 =)

@thomasbourdon #Liberachat ? I left the ##slackware channnel a while ago and will not return there unless Tadgy is removed as a channel OP.
-
Well 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:

Looks 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... :woozy_baa: 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).

The difference between British regulation vs: American regulation: Rat Shit in Food vs: CSAM
US regulation is binary: FDA permits 9ppm of rat droppings in flour, realising it’s inevitable. You are within limits, yes or no? UK regulation is analogue: banning any & all poop in expectation that this will drive ever-cleaner processes of food handling, so any (rare) cases can be dealt with by individual investigation.
Guess which…
Guess which doesn’t work for the internet, doesn’t scale, doesn’t travel, is gamed by those who face it, & inflames activists? Not to mention: in the world of food the rats are not actively attempting to circumvent restrictions on where they can poop.

Oh look, Libera Chat received a memo saying the Online Safety Act doesn't apply—🎉 what a plot twist! Forget the lawyers, it’s all about the #donations rolling in like a Netflix series renewal. Keep those contributions coming, because apparently, laws are as relevant as a 90s dial-up modem. 😂💰

Możecie (lub nie) kojarzyć bajzel wokół przejęcia #Freenode. Niemniej, za sprawą otwartości protokołu #IRC, wiele projektów mogło przenieść się na #LiberaChat z ograniczonymi do minimum trudnościami.
Dobra wiadomość jest taka, że twojej zamkniętej platformy raczej nie czeka podobne przejęcie — bo już jest pod tego typu zarządem od samego początku. Co więc zrobisz, kiedy twój projekt nagle wyleci, i stracisz dostęp do wszystkich danych — włącznie z tymi, których nie powinieneś był tam trzymać? No cóż, rzucisz jakąś żenującym korpobełkotem typu "wyruszamy we wspaniałą podróż ku kolejnej zamkniętej platformie, nie zapomnijcie zainstalować kolejnej naruszającej prywatność 200 MiB apki, żeby uniknąć wykluczenia".

You may (or may not) recall the #Freenode takeover mess. However, thanks to #IRC being an open and widely supported protocol, many projects migrated to #LiberaChat with as little disruption as possible.
Good news is, your walled garden is unlikely to suffer the fate of Freenode — because it already is there, from day one. What are you going to do when your project suddenly gets banned and you lose access to everything — including all the data that you shouldn't have kept there in the first place? Of course, come up with some corporate bullshit of "join us on our illustrious journey to the next walled garden, and don't forget to install another 200 MiB privacy nightmare app not to be excluded from our community".

🐢 Wow, it's 2025 and Libera Chat just discovered #burnout is a thing! 🎉 Only took them a few years to "finally" acknowledge what everyone else figured out decades ago. But hey, at least they're evaluating... something! 💼💤
