Re:Last remaining 1000+ user community channel seized by Fre... by dec0dedab0de on Monday June 14, 2021 @09:09AM (#27502062)
There have been many stories on HN, but as far as I know the basic story is like this.

Someone bought the freenode domain name

The group of people that ran freenode get in an argument with that person

All of the previous administrators leave to start libera

the new owner of freenode installs his own administrators.

Channels start switching to libera

freenode bans any one discussing libera

freenode seizes channels that are in the process of migrating, because they consider libera competition.
