Why does a few ops deciding to take their ball and move to another network mean that a "channel has moved"? The very premise is nonsense and absurd. Unless it's a trademarked/commercial branded channel, every channel remains on freenode and can adopt new ops to manage the community that decides to remain. This is all a bunch of posturing and virtue signaling that does nothing except damage the communities various parties purport to be supporting. Really sad that people are so interested in being divisive rather than actually work together.
#forth - for which I am an op - remains on freenode where it has grown from a dead channel for about a decade to something extremely valuable to the Forth community in the last few years. We have also has added a bridge to the new network as we care about Forth and not political/internal squabbles between operators and their employees. So long as federation with other networks appears beneficial to the Forther community we will continue to do so and are open to other networks as well.
If people were more focused on their communities than victimhood and divisiveness we wouldn't have this mess in the first place. Perhaps people should step back and really consider the real outcome potential of their actions and words before continuing this nonsense.
