I think many are registering nicks and channels "just in case", I haven't seen true "migration" as of yet, meaning large public channels forcibly shutting down on Freenode.
Let the storm calm down and then we will see where we're at. The whole conflict seems to be opinionated ops clashing over governance rather than any serious privacy related issues imo. It still might bring Freenode down in the end, who knows, but I don't think panic is warranted.
- gwillen 5y agoFrom what I'm seeing, everything I'm active in is moving (including my own channels) -- the old ones aren't being shut down yet, mostly because people want to give libera.chat a few days first to make sure it doesn't suffer major hiccups. But the new ones are going to be the permanent ones, I expect. (That's certainly our plan.)
- Wxc2jjJmST9XWWL 5y agoYep, 12 hours later it certainly looks that way. One channel I know migrated to OFTC, others seem to have parallel channels on Libera or are thinking about it, and might make the switch. Am registered on Libera just in case, and connected. Will go wherever my channels will end up on, even if they end up on different networks, not a problem. It's that simple.
