I am no longer allowed to connect to freenode using mibbit, my favorite irc client because of “security reasons”.
This actually pisses me off. A LOT.
Freenode claims that mibbit is unsecure and that the lack of cummunication between the mibbit team and the freenode team about those issues have led to banning all mibbit users.
I use mibbit because it’s comfortable to connect from anywhere to my favorite channels on freenode (which is the only server I use most of the time).
I use mibbit just because I don’t really like any other IRC client and don’t want to download one.
They replaced mibbit with their own lame client. That sounds like politics to me.
It’s amazing that an open-sourced group that allegedly represents freedom does something that really opposes their nature.
