Maybe you have to research that subject better. What you mention as
"hostile corporate entity" is the same entity supporting and
organizing money for Freenode to exist for years. You made rather
harsh statement IMHO.
How I see it, their drama does not belong to emacs-devel.
I also think that everybody is free to use any service and emacs-devel
should not promote neither this or that network as being better or
invalidate a network as being hostile.
Make a channel wherever you wish and let people choose without
emotional wars.
I am surprised how you people start acting as judges where there is no
case.
Remember that the "hostile entity" never changed its attitude towards
support of the free software.
Instead of saying "thanks" for all of the years, you spread
misinformation here.
Btw, there are 19200 users... does that mean you are dropping people
for mis-judgment?
