   Two years have passed since Andrew Lee took over freenode (with the help of Christel Dahlskjaer) and essentially destroyed it. I logged in yesterday to take a look, and sure enough, it's a ghost town. Turns out, "we" keep getting burned by egotistical, narcissistic rich dudes who screw with stuff then walk away. Who knew.

     @popey @ThePlant same, I wish Discord had a clean way to group up specific channels from different servers.

     @ThePlant I am "in" 50 discords. It's a shitshow when you only want to be in one channel, but have to join an entire discord to converse briefly. I agree matrix is a mess tho. :)

     @popey And also so many armchair analysts giving out theories of the 4d chess that was being played around this event and the birdsite thing… when in reality it's much more fuelled by cocaine, ego, complete absence of anyone to say "no".
     Succession was a good TV show.
