Without freenode I +would be a vastly different person today. The death of freenode last year +brought up many lingering memories and emotions. I talk about my history with +freenode, the events that happened in the wake of its death and how a new +community took its place. + +Each part of this story is written by weaving the narrative of the last +caretaker trying to protect the discussion halls against the darkness, and +things continue as the darkness gets more crafty and clever. + +I have included versions of this for all common eBook reader devices and +formats. I have tested this on my Kindle Oasis and iPad Pro, but I see no reason +that at least one of these formats wouldn't work for you. + + + +If you are a [Patreon supporter](https://patreon.com/cadey), you can get this +for free by clicking [this +link](https://withinstudios.itch.io/closed-projects/patreon-access). + +If you are a part of a marginalized group and cannot afford this but want to +read it anyways, please [contact me](/contact). + +Thank you for reading what I put out to the world. I only hope I can continue to +create and inspire you.
