Hi Bone,

Bone Baboon 写道:
> Will Guix continue to use Freenode?

No.  #guix is now on Libera Chat[0], the new name of what was 
‘Freenode’ before yesterday's hostile takeover of the freenode.net 
infra.

I updated the docs and the Web site yesterday.  It probably took a 
while to refresh.

Many thanks to Taylan for grabbing Libera's #guix before squatters 
could and for giving us administrative access.  I've applied for 
more official ‘project’ status like we had at old Freenode.

The old #guix channel still exists.  Users will see the new 
network name advertised in the /topic and ENTRYMSG if supported by 
their client, but I don't plan on ‘closing’ it unless it becomes a 
problem somehow.

Over the years multiple authors of those letters have been 
extremely helpful, responsive, and downright friendly to me 
whenever I bothered them with my noob questions.  It never felt 
like I was talking to overworked volunteers.  I didn't hesitate 
for a moment to trust their judgment.

> Will Guix start it's own IRC server(s)?

François is right: starting and running an IRC server is a serious 
commitment, not something you do on Sundays.  Leave it to 
competent people who are passionate about doing their thing well.

Don't get me wrong: I <3 self-hosting.  Perhaps we can host one of 
the mentioned IRC alternatives, but I urge anyone volunteering: 
bridge it with IRC so's not to split the community further.

Kind regards,

T G-R
