GHC and the future of Freenode

[Iavor Diatchki]

Hello,

I am not a heavy IRC user, but I'd say it makes most sense to just use
Libera.  It is essentially the same people that were running free-node
running pretty much the exact same service, and I believe they are trying
to make it extra easy to just switch, so this should be the least effort
transition.

I believe IRC has served the GHC community quite well so far, and there is
a reddit post by Ed Kmett that the normal Haskell channels have already
been transitioned over, so I think it makes sense for GHC to stick with the
rest of the Haskell community.
