AssangeDAO raises $38M in donations to help free WikiLeaks founder

A DAO created to support WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has generated almost $39 million in donations in less than a week.

"There are 530 known #IRC networks listed below..." https://netsplit.de/networks/ it was well under 500 before #freenode collapsed. Around 450.

Much was accomplished in 2021. For #techrights we've actually moved entirely to #techrights at irc.techrights.org (the IRC client needs to be configured to connect to it) which is the correct channel to use. #freenode and LC are dead to us. No more third parties.

Also, another #irc network was added 1-2 days ago to #netsplit (it grew a lot since #freenode imploded) https://netsplit.de/networks/?query=applicant

Number of known (>50 users) #irc networks before #freenode self-nuked: 470. http://techrights.org/2021/11/20/internet-relay-chat-end-of-2021/ now: 535 https://netsplit.de/networks/

Number of Known Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Networks Grew About 10% Since Freenode's Collapse, Number of Simultaneous Users Globally Around a Third of a Million

About 333,000 simultaneous users in known (to netsplit.de) networks is nothing to sneeze at; contrary to what obituaries and epitaphs want us to believe, IRC hasn't died and we look at where users have moved to in 2021

Days later, #freenode dot net still looks like an awful site for cranks and people who love urine. They ought to fix that. http://techrights.org/2021/11/30/reddit-complex-freenode/

Freenode.net Becomes a 'Reddit Clone' and Freenode IRC is Back to Old Configurations After Flushing Down Decades' Worth of User/Channel Data and Locking/Shutting Out Longtime Users

Meanwhile, #freenode has 'regained' about 20,000 online users, but they're idlers. Old: http://techrights.org/2021/08/21/joseon-channels/

Joseon/Chosŏn IRC: Almost 5,000 Registered Channels (From Interim Freenode), But Only a Few Dozen Channels Have a Dozen or More Users

A listing of top (by number of users) channels in the 'new' Freenode; very few channels are active and our 5 channels there are an output of the bridge; some of the users are just bots

#Freenode is having another go; after “chits” and “jobs” (among many other ideas) have clearly failed, and following the change of daemon (resulting in massive loss of data and even security issues associated with impersonation) as well as pointless rebrand as #Joseon , the domain Freenode.net becomes something completely different and the IRC network reopens to all http://techrights.org/2021/11/30/reddit-complex-freenode/

Last week, for first time since July, #freenode reopened to anonymous users. Number of users grew from 3,000 to 10,000 in just a few days. #irc

IRC is GROWING. The number of NETWORKS still grows. #freenode was centralisation or near-monopoly.

I’ve made it easier for myself to keep abreast of things like #IRC channels and networks (incidentally, a day ago #Freenode reopened to anonymous logins) and I’ve improved monitoring of the Web sites, Gemini capsule etc. (this video is unplanned and improvised) http://techrights.org/2021/11/24/thanksgiving-downtime/
