Hi all,

If you're not aware, in 2021 the IRC network freenode had a "hostile takeover" by a 3rd party. More information can be found here.

As such:

  • Communities that existed on freenode moved to Libera.Chat.
  • The #fixmystreet channel was deleted.

The 2 links/references to freenode are:

  • https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/blob/master/docs/community/index.md
  • https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/blob/master/docs/community/irc.md

What would be FixMyStreet's view or action for this?

  • Should the community migrate, or stay on freenode?
  • Should the references be removed?
