But they did take over channels that merely had the mention of Libera in their topic, no matter the context. Mistake or not, it happened.

Exactly. #guix was not closed and merely mentioned that the community had moved to Libera.

Channels that hadn't even moved were taken over, such as #elixir-lang. They only had a mention "Also see <channel> on <network-that-shan't-be-named>" in the topic. Well, they have moved now.
