removes freenode for community safety concerns, including the platform's leadership calling a project member a slur.

we could replace it with libera.chat in the meantime - it's safely owned and moderated.

Are we actually moving to libera officially?

I think we should; either way, the channel exists and is moderated by the same folks that ran the freenode one.

This wasn't pulled in before #3923 was landed.

libera.chat is moderated by node staff and the moderation team, and is where the majority of those on freenode have already migrated.
