schestowitzMany allusions to TR and you can see the general agenda. Anti-RMS, anti-FSF, entertaining troublemakers. https://twitter.com/mjg59Jun 19 02:53

schestowitzI only recently found out that in our irc@localhost MinceR had muted him (I didn't know that) and that he was attempting to bypass that. Still not giving up...Jun 19 03:09
Techrights-secstrawman arguments from himJun 19 03:10
schestowitzyes, straw men and fictional claims of what was actually saidJun 19 03:10
Techrights-secI wonder what motivates him to troll?Jun 19 03:10
schestowitzI'd like to think just envy and nothing elseJun 19 03:10
Techrights-sec He is not in the channel on good faithJun 19 03:11
Techrights-secLikely also a second factor.Jun 19 03:14
schestowitzI lost AT LEAST 10 hours this past week alone on IRC chaos. At least. I don't want to let trolls do the same. We lost so much potential work (that would likely never be done, inc. rebuttal of BS in the 'news')Jun 19 03:15
Techrights-secYes and others probably lost more, multiply all that across all the Jun 19 03:17
Techrights-secprojects which use or even worry about IRC and that is a lot.Jun 19 03:17
Techrights-secEven if the damage was not intentional, it hardly matters any more.Jun 19 03:17
schestowitzI think we were sufficiently prepared. Anyway, across networks we now retain about 100 users and the bridges generally work, with over 90% of the activity coming from localhost, so we're better off. Also, in case of downtime in one network, we can use the other temporarily, aka 'multiclown'Jun 19 03:18
schestowitzgemini mailing lists quiet lately, but gemini activity is still very much thereJun 19 03:19
Techrights-secThe bridges were a good idea and seem to be working as they should now.Jun 19 03:20
Techrights-secIs there buffereing so that if one network is down, the messagesJun 19 03:20
Techrights-secqueue up until there is a reconnection?  The risk would be flooding though.Jun 19 03:20
schestowitzif one network goes down, I start logging from the other side, then switch back over. Buffering isn't an IRC thing, unless the connectivity issue is temporary, and may depend on client side and irc daemon.Jun 19 03:21
Techrights-secGemini is important, the list is quiet often while people are either busy with Jun 19 03:21
Techrights-secother stuff or thinking about what was discussed or both.  No need thereJun 19 03:21
Techrights-secfor incessant chatter.Jun 19 03:21
Techrights-secThe lists are moderated.Jun 19 03:21
Techrights-secOkJun 19 03:21
schestowitzyes, s/n better now. Jun 19 03:22

Techrights-secI suspect that much of the disruption prior to the moderation was intentional.Jun 19 03:25
Techrights-secMany forums also fall victim to that style of disruptino and naive nerdsJun 19 03:25
Techrights-secthink that the disrupters are there in good faith.  They are not.Jun 19 03:25
schestowitzthis tires peopleJun 19 03:25
Techrights-secYes, and that is the goal: to drive them out and have them throw up their armsJun 19 03:26
Techrights-secand, if possible, rage quit.Jun 19 03:26
Techrights-secInterests aligned with M$ use it a lot but few seem to accept that fact.  Jun 19 03:27
schestowitzIn the case of gemini I would not even bring up "Microsoft" because there's a lot more to itJun 19 03:27
Techrights-secRight.  That's why I wrote "interests aligned with M$", there's more to theJun 19 03:28
