My reservations with libera.chat is the the lack of legal or organizational structure¹, so Libera Chat might suffer the same type of takeover in the future. That has been a reason for other projects (like Mesa) to choose OFTC instead. To quote Mesa folks²: After considering Libera and OFTC as options, the board settled on recommending OFTC. The primary reason for this is because OFTC is associated with our parent foundation SPI, and has a long and well known history of involvement with the open source community. As well, the board believes OFTC's current Governance model is a lot more clear then Libera's. ¹ or unknown to me when I made my mind ² https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2021-May/225271.html -- Germán Poo-Caamaño https://calcifer.org
