The new policy says "Primary channels are required to stay open. If a primary channel closes access to its users or is in violation of freenode policies, then it will be closed and forwarded to a topical channel."
So I assume that advertising Libera is not (yet) enough to be taken over. Taking over channels that declare themselves closed (and redirecting them to an unofficial channel about the same topic) seems reasonable, tbh.
- Ndymium 5y agoBut they did take over channels that merely had the mention of Libera in their topic, no matter the context. Mistake or not, it happened.
- rekado 5y agoExactly. #guix was not closed and merely mentioned that the community had moved to Libera.
- Ndymium 5y agoChannels that hadn't even moved were taken over, such as #elixir-lang. They only had a mention "Also see <channel> on <network-that-shan't-be-named>" in the topic. Well, they have moved now.
- kadoban 5y agoYou assume incorrectly, unfortunately. Advertising libera.chat is enough to get taken over.
- ybloviator 5y agoNope, they nuked a local user group's channel simply for having Libera in the topic.
