Another relatively new #irc networks, dating back to the collapse of #freenode https://netsplit.de/networks/statistics.php?net=FateChat

Quite a few new #irc networks were created after #freenode had collapse, e.g. https://netsplit.de/networks/statistics.php?net=H4x0red

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 http://techrights.org/2021/11/20/internet-relay-chat-end-of-2021/ #Internet #Net

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

#irc channel of #techights turns 14 this coming spring but it's all #selfhosted now (we started in #freenode in 2008)

#liberachat not growing much after the collapse of #freenode ... it's #OFTC gaining a bit and hopefully many #selfhosted IRC networks (quit relying on centralised giants) https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php

#github is like #freenode and it'll become the next #microsoft #codeplex when people realise what it REALLY is and what it TRULY tried to achieve http://techrights.org/2021/11/04/github-beginning-of-the-end/

The Beginning of the End of the GitHub Near-Monopoly and Its Demise to CodePlex Status (a Slow-Motion Train Wreck)

A quick statement by video (spontaneous and unscripted) about how we'll be covering GitHub scandals following the departure of one mastermind among several

5 months later #liberachat reaches 50k users -- nowhere near the 90k users that old #freenode had. Likely just a net loss for #irc https://netsplit.de/networks/statistics.php?net=Libera.Chat

#liberachat #censorship #bans #oppression https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/why-am-i-banned-from-libera-chat-4175701450/ same as the old #freenode then: http://techrights.org/2021/05/08/communication-channels-cancel-mobbed/

Why am I banned from Libera.chat?

State of #freenode now http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-techrights-240921.html#tSep%2024%2003:18:54

What's left of #freenode breaking apart http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-techrights-230921.html#tSep%2023%2023:17:07

#Blender3D has not been keeping up with the #freenode situation https://nitter.eu/ddwagnz/status/1440418012125818887

#freenode the Web site is down. The end of Freenode? Dead within 4 months of ship-jumping?

Reminder: unless you #selfhost IRC you are merely a guest or a tenant. #freenode should have taught us all a lesson...

#freenode was assassinated https://nitter.eu/builtbyph/status/1438250657010667524

"half the users of #freenode never moved to what was supposed to replace it" http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-techrights-120921.html#tSep%2012%2022:06:52

The death of #freenode means net loss for #irc as a protocol because Libera Chat is hardly growing anymore. But what we need are hundreds if not thousands of new (and small) IRC networks. To avoid centralisation. https://netsplit.de/networks/history/top10_2021c.png

#freenode was another cautionary tale to people who do not #selfhost and some time in the future Libera Chat might be the next cautionary tale http://techrights.org/2021/06/18/self-hosting-song/

Cautionary tales about outsourcing one's systems to companies that could not care less about anyone but themselves

Another goodbye to #freenode https://openwrt.org/register_yourself_in_the_wiki?rev=1630746130&do=diff

The replacement of #freenode is hardly growing, so what Lee did (people FLee) was a net loss for #irc as a protocol... though we can hope more people will soon (or already) self-host IRC instead of relying on just one or few giants https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php
