hi, and goodbye

The past few weeks has not been fun on IRC, the drama based on false information and assumptions has been insane. I've almost entirely been silent on the drama because I know the fallout that would happen if I spoke up.

A quick TLDR - I'm quitting all IRC development. KiwiIRC project lead, IRCv3 technical board, supporting the multitude of IRC networks, the lot.

Many people seem to think that I am supporting one side in everything that is going on, so just to be clear: I am not supporting any side of the current freenode drama - there is so much false information going around from everywhere that it is impossible to support anybody.

Woo freenode drama

My resignation from freenode staff
==================================

I joined the freenode staff in March 2019 [1].

Before I joined the staff, Freenode Ltd was sold [2] to a person named
Andrew Lee as part of a sponsorship deal. The informal terms of that

What is going on

I have decided, along with a few other staff members, to step down from Snoonet staff. The reasons are laid out below.

Why am I leaving?

Its honestly pretty simple. I have a problem with how the network is run today, and their names are irc.com and prawnsalad.

Over the past year, prawnsalad, in the name of irc.com, has attempted to erode control away from Snoonet.

From: Aspen (linuxdaemon) <linuxdaemonirc@gmail.com>
To: Snoonet Staff <staff@snoonet.org>
Subject: Resignation

To begin, I will continue to maintain gonzobot/CloudBot and my other projects under 
https://github.com/TotallyNotRobots/. I will also be active in the larger IRC community, and I hope to remain active as a Snoonet user.

The changes announced by Darren (prawnsalad) on Saturday, October 19, 2019 contained particularly troubling points, namely pushing for policies that would:
* irrevocably compromise the security of Snoonet and its users, in particular the push to quickly implement bug patches or features without proper regard to potential or known security issues in the hopes no one intent on attack will notice before they are addressed,
