Pointing the entire community to a new server (ircs://irc.libera.chat/) is going to cause a huge disruption, maybe destroy the community altogether. I can't help but wonder if there's no better way. What a tragedy.
- atatatat 5y agoBridge your IRC community to Matrix today for the best of both worlds.
- cheph 5y agoI dunno who the "We" is in "We are founding a new network with the same goals and ambitions to support foss and likeminded communities: libera.chat." But if it is the same people who mismanaged freenode into this joke then maybe nobody should go there. Just a heads up. I think this Andrew Lee person would have a tough time being worse than them. How long until they sell libera.chat for a pack of magic beans? I give it 2 years max.

- cheph 5y ago> under Swedish law What statute in Swedish law prohibits them from selling the network to someone who "totally gave his word" for a pack of beans?
