I mostly avoid freenode for years now, because: - it's verbosity city, from the motd to the wallops - its bizarre behaviours like NOIDPRIVMSG and +q are confusing - it ain't nicknamed freesplit for nothing - some of its bugs have been embarrasing (high traffic mode, anyone?) - as a result of crude fixes, it's a pain to identify a local server (/links and /map disabled, web site seems to lag, page undated) - the foundation behind it seems opaque and questioning that got several people called trolls and banned - their long-term aim doesn't require running a compatible IRC environment (see http://freenode.net/freenode_and_irc.shtml ) - their long-term aim used to be to progress beyond mere IRC, develop a corridor-based discussion model with a distributed MUD interface and be picked up by a UFO following a comet, or something http://web.archive.org/web/20010305222529/http://openprojects.net/corridors.shtml It would be good to move irc.debian.org to fellow SPI project OFTC.
