FreeNode: Lies, Hax, and Consequences. Updated.
The link situated at the bottom of this post is to a “Full Disclosure” on Rob Levin, or lilo, the guy who has been running FreeNode - badly by all accounts - for some time now.
I would like to take a moment to note that sensitive information is also disclosed about Mr. Levin, above and beyond a calling-out of his irresponsible and uncouth actions.
FreeNode is supposed to be an umbrella and a haven for open source and independent software projects and creators.
The running theory among those in the know, however, is that Levin is a swindler, a layabout, and generally a shmuck.
I support Open Source. I don’t support ass-hattery. Free Freenode, and let’s be done with this bozo.
Edit - Per a recent reply, I have edited the “hidden” link area to include a key follow up reply to this situation. Many thanks to
The plot thickens all the time on this situation, and it’s a huge, dramatic waste of time from what I can tell. Just as an injection of pure opinion: Mr. Levin simply needs to bow out of this situation and allow the community to recover.
The more information that surfaces, the less feasible it is that Levin is anything but - to put it delicately - a dumbass.
Coding is hard enough without important people in the community being Drama Llamas!
