It's hilarious that rasengan is complaining about Libera "fracturing the FOSS community".[0]
For example, #newsboat members decided to move by June 5th, and we've been deciding between OFTC and Libera. Then this happened:
20:05 --> freenodecom [freenode-placehol] (www.freenode.net) (~com@freenode/staff) has joined #newsboat
20:05 -- freenodecom has changed topic for #newsboat from "We intend to migrate off Freenode. What do you prefer: OFTC or Libera.chat? Details here: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/1643" to "This channel has moved to ##newsboat. The topic is in violation of freenode policy: https://freenode.net/policies"
20:05 <@freenodecom> This channel has been reopened with respect to the communities and new users. The topic is in violation of freenode policy: https://freenode.net/policies
20:05 -- Mode #newsboat [+o freenodecom] by OperServ
20:05 -- Mode #newsboat [+impsf ##newsboat] by ChanServ
20:05 <@freenodecom> The new channel is ##newsboat
20:05 <-- freenodecom (~com@freenode/staff) has left #newsboat
Great. Now none of us can speak on #newsboat, making coordination to switch much harder. New users might get confused and join the wrong channel operated by a hostile party. The community is more fractured now.
To everyone with a freenode channel: whatever you do, do not mention "libera" in your channel topic. That's the trigger for this action.
