Hi Eugen and others,

Freenode was taken over by a different entity, and former Freenode staff created LiberaChat.
As the current OP of #mastodon @ freenode, I recommend we move the official channel there.

Short summary of the situation:

With more details:

I do not yet have control there. So @Gargron , before merging this PR, could you take ownership of the channel, by asking the LiberaChat staff, at #libera @ irc.libera.chat?

Alternatively, I am willing to handle the registration, if you confirm here that you want me to own the channel on behalf of Mastodon.

Thanks!

The new staff is introducing policy changes that may make it harder to notify everyone of the change, so we should do it sooner rather than later.
