[Evergreen-general] Time to move to a different IRC network?

[Justin P Degenaars]

Hi Everyone,
For how much my 2 cents are worth: I agree that while Libera.chat seems to
be trying to make their own name for themselves, and so far has shown
promise. It is a pretty short existence though.
I do agree that we should distance ourselves from Mom and Dad fighting and
going through a divorce.

Best,
Justin P. Degenaars
