Apparently, Freenode deleted all registered users and channels several hours ago.
I guess that should solve the problem of communities being split between Freenode and Libera. If I may add towards using IRC, even though it may seem archaic towards newcomers: - it allows them to join without registration (via web.libera.chat), and - it allows them to use a client of their choosing (I am not aware of any stable Matrix clients beside Element).
From my own experience, Electron-based clients (Element included) consume unreasonable amounts of RAM: Element is consuming ~700MiB of RAM just to stay idle on my machine. To give a fair comparison, the tab for irccloud tends to consume ~300MiB.
