Hi all,

For those of you who have not woken up to this sad day yet. Andrew Lee has
taken his stance as owner of freenode ltd. and by the (one sided) story of
the former volunteer staff members basically forced the whole community out.

As there is history of LTM shutting down networks before (snoonet), it is
appropriate to expect that the intentions here are not aligned with the
communities and specially the users who's data he has access to via this
administrative takeover.

I think it's our time to take swift action and show our support to all the
hard working volunteers who were behind freenode and move all our
activities to irc.libera.chat.

Please see https://twitter.com/freenodestaff and Christian's letter which
links to the others as well https://fuchsnet.ch/freenode-resign-letter.txt

Best,
Erno 'jokke' Kuvaja
