Hello,

I am not a heavy IRC user, but I'd say it makes most sense to just use Libera. It is essentially the same people that were running free-node running pretty much the exact same service, and I believe they are trying to make it extra easy to just switch, so this should be the least effort transition.

I believe IRC has served the GHC community quite well so far, and there is a reddit post by Ed Kmett that the normal Haskell channels have already been transitioned over, so I think it makes sense for GHC to stick with the rest of the Haskell community.

Fair point. From a view over the last few days, I’d say it’s closer to 100% on libera. Lots of people just switched. Quite surprising.

My vote goes for Matrix.

I am not a heavy user yet, but I hope this episode helps to drive more people to it away from irc.
Having half the people on Freenode and the other half on Libera seems the worst possible outcome in the short- to mid-term.
The Fedora project also has plans to move to Matrix as its main group chat messaging platform.
