So switch from one mostly centralized service being currently taken over by a dodgy crypto-currency linked company (Freenode Inc.) to one that already has been a for-profit dodgy crypto-currency funded company (NewVector/Element) for some years?
Libera.chat is at least run by a Swedish non-profit with all volunteer admins (but is also too centralized).
Why libera.chat over Matrix? This seems like a great opportunity to switch.
