Hello,


TL;DR
Should we move the official IRC channel of Crossfire from Freenode to
Libera ?


There has been a turn of events with Freenode, our current & official
IRC server host, that raise some concerns [1].

Seems https://libera.chat/ is the IRC host to move too. I've done the
legwork to get a properly reserved and registered #crossfire channel at
Libera.

So, let the questions and discussion begin as to whether or not
#crossfire should move to a new IRC 'home' - mainly Libera.
