In response to current events concerning the Freenode Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network, we would like to invite you to a community meeting on the future of both the FSF and GNU's official IRC channels.
The meeting will be held in the #fsf channel on the Freenode network on Thursday, May 27 from 13:00-14:30 EDT (17:00-18:30 UTC). The discussion will be moderated by members of the FSF staff, as well as GNU webmasters Amin Bandali and Jason Self.
Although no final decision will be made at this meeting, we're inviting you to use it as a space to share your thoughts on how the FSF and GNU should respond to recent changes in Freenode's organizational structure. Your feedback will be vital to helping us make respective decisions on whether to remain on Freenode, and if so, in what capacity.
When: May 27, 2021 — from 01:00 PM to 02:30 PM
Where: IRC
Contact Name: campaigns@fsf.orgA preliminary agenda follows:
Current state and long-term future of the Freenode network;
Assessing alternate IRC networks (Libera, OFTC); and
Viability and freedom status of alternate communication networks (Matrix, XMPP).

]]>we cant use tox group yet cause most of us use qtox client and in Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.3.1 we still have this issue, the next release will fix it
but i think we need to move #hyperbola channel from freenode to https://libera.chat/
Seconded...
]]> but i think we need to move #hyperbola channel from freenode to https://libera.chat/]]>That could be a good point, if its possible to do tox group.
never done that myself before though, gl, can't help you with that yet...
It's extremely trivial. So far I've tried thrice, but people haven't joined the group. If everyone is willing, I can make it 1 more time. It isn't useful if no one joins.
]]>Let's create a tox group for Hyperbola and ditch IRC altogether.
It is not secure.
That could be a good point, if its possible to do tox group.

]]>Hello together,
bad news these days and it seems not stopping. For now about Freenode: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/df80d8 … 18af497409
What does this mean for "#Hyperbola" itself as channel? Could we please take action here as soon as possible? I don't think it is wise to meet on Freenode this evening / day and for the upcoming times especially. Please comment all from the team and the community also. Worthwhile I'll try to get more into this new situation and reading what's up there.
You may want to move the #hyperbola channel from freenode then...
I just switched to https://libera.chat/
It seems to be the successor to what freenode used to be.
