Moving IRC channel to libera.chat network
mbunkus opened this issue · comments
Today it came to light that the existing Freenode network (where our IRC channel resides) has been sold in a cloak-and-dagger manner to very shady people. The existing staff is resigning en-masse and has already started a new network called libera.chat, based on free/libre principles we value as well.
You can read more about the background in messages of the various resigning staff members, e.g. this one or that one.
I'd like to move the #matroska channel to the new network. I've already gone so far & registered the channel to my nick there in order to avoid squatters getting their hands on the name. If everyone agrees, I'll:
- update the Matroska website,
- send mails to the relevant lists,
- leave an appropriate message on Freenode's
#matroskachannel so that existing users will be made aware of the move.
Objections?
There's a FAQ about what's going on, too.
