But I believe it's unwise to rush the libera.chat migration in the current overheated situation. Why not wait a few weeks, until the dust has settled and (hopefully) a rational judgement about the recent events is possible?
I personally have had three channels hijacked by Freenode (founder status revoked) because the channel topic violated guidelines. The offending topic? "This channel has moved to irc.libera.chat." The same thing has happened to many other channels.
As far as I'm concerned, that sort of thing alone is reason to leave Freenode. This is exactly the kind of behavior the staff warned about when they resigned en masse.
I agree with Martin and also with you too. I agree that we should avoid knee-jerk reactions created by an echo bubble which happens a lot these days. And we can't have access to all the facts, not yet. But on the other hand I think what Freenode admins did is unacceptable. Anyhow, I suggest people read https://gist.github.com/prawnsalad/4ca20da6c2295ddb06c1646791c61953 and see that both parts are guilty in this, I'd be happier if we moved to Oftc.net instead.
