Docs: IRC channel moved from Freenode to Libera.Chat (#848)

2021-05-26T14:54:32Z

There's no mention of this on the issue tracker, so here's my recap of what led to this change. There is some drama around Freenode. Their volunteer staff quit[1]. Then the new-ish management started enacting strange policy changes[2] and take over the channels[3]. On June 26th 2021 Freenode's bot tried to take over #hakyll, but failed; however, it did succeed in #haskell and many, many other channels. For the preceding week, me and IRC user henk were trying to move the channel off the Freenode, either to Libera.Chat or OFTC. Jasper, the founder of Hakyll, was absent from IRC and didn't respond to my emails. Me and henk are the most active IRC users on the channel. Also, I have Collaborator access to the repo, and henk has chanop access to the IRC channel. We believe that at this time, we're the ones who are the best positioned to execute the move, so we're doing it. We only considered Libera.Chat and OFTC. Libera.Chat was created a week earlier by the same staff who quit Freenode; I personally consider them to be a spiritual successor of Freenode. OFTC is a well-established network with good governance documentation. Both networks are FOSS-friendly. The choice wasn't obvious. Libera.Chat was picked because 10 users moved there (and 1 more did while I was typing this!), whereas only 2 joined OFTC (me and henk, and those weren't votes for OFTC — we were just ensuring that the channel is ours). Also, #haskell and #ghc are on Libera too, so it makes sense for a Haskell project such as Hakyll to be present on Libera.
