lately when I talk about PIA quietly buying IRC networks and infrastructure projects even on Mastodon some person comes out and starts hitting me with some pathetic talking point. if I didn't know better I would say they were concerned about their image...
@kaniini Is there a list of the networks they've acquired, out of curiosity? I haven't seen a peep of this before, but my IRC use is mostly tied to smaller networks (including one I oper for).
