Not sure.  In the current state it just says "Server buffer is alive"
which is true.

It still knows about the buffers:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(("##rust" . #<buffer ##rust@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#git" . #<buffer #git@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#archlinux" . #<buffer #archlinux@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#fsf-members" . #<buffer #fsf-members@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#fsf" . #<buffer #fsf@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#gnu" . #<buffer #gnu@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#gnus" . #<buffer #gnus@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#rcirc" . #<buffer #rcirc@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#emacs-beginners" . #<buffer #emacs-beginners@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#emacs" . #<buffer #emacs@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#sway" . #<buffer #sway@irc.libera.chat>)
 ("#sr.ht" . #<buffer #sr.ht@irc.libera.chat>))
Local in buffer *irc.libera.chat*; global value is nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm now restarting emacs.  The next time I get a disconnect, I'll try
/reconnect instead.
