If a still-fuzzy "variety of recent changes to that network" are the reason for
this latest fire-drill/tempest, then just fyi,
A Lee's provided some documented reply,

To my read it doesn't seem as clear-cut as some are making it all out to be. If
'trust' is the underlying issue here, there seems to be enuf not passing the smell
test on 'both sides'.
IME, projects want a place to talk that's trustworthy.
Freenode has also shut down every channel that posted a libera.chat
link in its topic. That's not very 'trustworthy'. This happened to
multiple Fedora-related projects/channels, including #cockpit , for
instance.
