I'm really quite happy about how many people are recognizing the similarities between the Freenode implosion and the current Twitter shitshow, and how it's helping to inform people on what to do and expect next.

This was kind of a stretch goal for the Freenode thing from an activist perspective; clearly communicating the power dynamics behind the implosion, so that people could learn from it and prevent/mitigate similar situations in other places in the future.

It's always hard to measure whether that sort of thing works, but I think it's safe to say that it has indeed worked in this case! Though I have to admit, I didn't expect Twitter to be the place where it'd become relevant :)
