As a long time irssi user and fan, this revert disturbed me, so I joined #irssi (on Libera, natch) to ask about it.

Log of my interaction with Geert: https://paste.debian.net/1198991/. It's been edited to remove join/parts.

My take: the irssi community has not made a decision to move from Freenode to Libera. The commit pointing the default network from Freenode to Libera was thus premature. The revert title could have been worded better.

Yup I think the problem here is the commit.

All it had to say was "reverting as this was premature".

Even better "irc.example.com" to never make it a problem again.
