Due to events last year:

"On 19 May 2021, Freenode underwent what some staff described as a
'hostile takeover' and at least 14 volunteer staff members
resigned. Following the events, various organisations using
Freenode – including Arch Linux, CentOS, FreeBSD, Free Software
Foundation Europe, Gentoo Linux, KDE, LineageOS, Slackware,
Ubuntu, and Wikimedia Foundation–moved their channels to Libera
Chat, a network created by former Freenode staff."

many FOSS communities have moved from Freenode to
libera.chat. There's an #openbsd channel there.
