But that doesn't solve the problem, just works around it: 1. Images are still pre-baked with a given UID/GID pair, so you can't distribute them as something universal and reusable. 2. This requires workarounds / extra st

What? No. Our hackerspace decided that we should probably maybe move our IRC channels to libera.chat but have a grace period, generally do things carefully and slowly. We had 'moving to libera.chat soon' in our /topic, set by

Yes. For any #foo that contained `libera.chat` in the topic, #foo was grabbed from all existing chanserv ops and is now managed by freenode-placeholder-account. A +ifm ##foo was set up: No one who's still on #foo can speak there, and a

We also got a number of channels totalling a few hundred names hijacked from chanserv, because of 'libera.chat' in the topic. No contact, nothing. We aren't even a F/OSS project, but a hackerspace. 10 years of a chanser

Influence over the community's perception that freenode is still freenode, and that things are stable, because some staff is still on their side, and because an influential project (Alpine) stayed with freenode.
