[Hosting] OSUOSL IRC channels moving to irc.libera.chat
As many of you might have noticed, there has been some shifting around with
the Freenode IRC network in the past few days [1][2]. This has resulted in
a number of Freenode staff members resigning and starting a new IRC network.
Considering the future status of Freenode and given the track record of the
folks involved with the new network called Libera Chat [3], we've decided
that we're moving #osuosl (and any other related channels) over to
irc.libera.chat.
We'll keep the Freenode channels alive for a little while longer but intend
to close them down within a month or so. For those interested, we are
considering spinning up a Matrix server at some point to provide a more
rich chat experience but for now we still use IRC for most of our
communication with FOSS projects.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know otherwise we'll
see you on Libera Chat in #osuosl!
Thanks-

Unfortunately this is likely due to the fact we referenced Libera Chat in
our topic. I recommend all users to log off of Freenode if you can and move
to LIbera Chat for #osuosl.

FYI, it seems that, just like other IRC channels that were migrated:
https://www.gentoo.org/news/2021/05/26/gentoo-freenode-channels-hijacked.html

https://twitter.com/bagder/status/1397433855817170949
the channel was hijacked at freenode:
/msg chanserv INFO #osuosl
Information on #osuosl:
(22:37:41) ChanServ: (notice) Founder : freenode-placeholder-account
(22:37:41) ChanServ: (notice) Registered : May 26 03:00:32 2021 (17h 37m 8s ago)
(22:37:41) ChanServ: (notice) The #osuosl namespace is registered to the osuosl project
(22:37:41) ChanServ: (notice) *** End of Info ***
Trying to join it redirects to:
