(Bridges are a mixed bag, but in a >low >traffic channel it might work) Hi, I found the actions of Freenode today very distasteful, and am glad the channel was (eventually) restored. There is no official libera-matrix bridge yet, however the libera version of the room *is* bridged to matrix via my matrix server at the moment and I've made a few configuration changes based on feedback over the last week. More than happy to keep the bridge up indefinitely (it's also bridging another channel). I am very concerned about the future of the freenode network - especially regarding what changes in policy we might need to navigate going forward.
