Having decided to move their channels to Libera, with a final transition date of June 25th, the Free Software Foundation channels were seized by freenode staff early today.
The best IRC admins are levelheaded and slow to anger.<p>Andrew Lee doesn't seem to have found many such people when he recruited new volunteers for Freenode.
Much as Freenode Ltd/Andrew Lee may be seen as having taken over Freenode it is clear that disloyal and morally suspect Freenode domain administrators are as much to blame.<p>Whoever transferred those domains must have known the possible consequences but were clearly not deterred.<p>Did they inform the community or consult them before?
