Has the CentOS community considered OFTC? If so, I'm curious what made libera.chat win out. I have no horse in the race of either, and ask to see if I'm missing arguments for/against OFTC or libera.
It's a different culture and oftc is unable to scale the way that the sponsor model of libera allows. It's also _all_ the same staff from freenode as of this morning. Same operational mode. Same commands. Same culture. Same trust established with working with the staffers over many years.
It appears that Fedora is moving to libera as well:

I expect some of the other Red Hat-based project channels (#anaconda, for instance) will also move but this is merely a hunch.
