Is this going to be Freenet in software form? The first bit of fuckery with FN wasn't enough to drive most people away. Nor the second even. But it KEPT HAPPENING, over and over, and eventually critical mass was hit.

You'd think after the last time the Audacity vultures would have learned their lesson, but of course they don't care. It's just another thing destroy in the vague hope of making money.

Audacity should have no online components. NONE. And as such, no such notice should be needed.

That's not an accurate representation of the freenode situation: freenode was taken over, the old staff disagreed with the decisions of the new owner and left to create Libera.Chat, and then the new ownership started banning people and taking over channels for talking about Libera, changed the server software, effectively deleted the nickname database, and is producing really delusional messaging, such as https://freenode.com/news/introducing-irc .

That's Freenode, which it seems is what the GP comment is thinking of. Freenet is unrelated.
