It might prove foolish to move decades-old communities to something that can’t withstand HN front page, or freenode jumping. (Libera is currently down for many people.)
One thing I learned with my own community is that building one on negatives isn’t sustainable. Think about it: all of the big communities had a positive purpose for being created. They stood for something. What does Libera stand for?
Mission statement is crucial, and it seems to be absent here.

- junon 5y agoGoodness, they set this up in record time. Cut them some slack. Even #help states in the topic to allow the dust to settle a bit.
