@matrix after a few days broken, @matrix appear to have restarted the IRC bridge they operate. The Matrix/Libera link should be restored for now.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/security/advisories/GHSA-xvqg-mv25-rwvwMatrix's IRC bridge software has a high-severity vulnerability that affects Matrix rooms that are bridged to IRC.Libera.Chat have mitigated what we can, but bridge operators must upgrade to the newest version.This does not have any impact on IRC or IRC users - a courtesy toot for those who may need to upgrade.

Hello folks! We have been busy and working on some fancy new features behind the scene, some of which are already live, some of which are soon to come. We published a blog post about them at https://libera.chat/news/new-and-upcoming-features, which is especially interesting if you are operating a channel. As usual, feel free to contact us with any questions, remarks or suggestions you might have. Thanks for flying Libera!

Hi everyone: with the OpenSSL critical bug due to be announced today, we thought we'd let you know that we don't run the affected version (>3), so your connections will remain secure and no downtime will be needed.Best of luck to everyone awaiting patches!

It is time for us, as volunteers running a real-time communication platform, to address burnout. Doing this is important for the future of our work, and we will be leveraging ✨emerging technologies✨ to achieve it.https://libera.chat/news/burnout

Update: This was our April 1st 2025 prank. It was a reminder that burnout is real, especially in volunteer efforts, and that it has no easy answers. This is also a protest about the social burden created by LLMs - often trained using questionable ethics - including on the quality of support resources. And sometimes with the ultimate goal of replacing real human interactions that make communities like ours so special. <3

If you are reading this post, you have benefited from OSUOSL. Projects supported by them power today's Internet architecture.We know that OSUOSL is worth saving. But we need organizations that rely on the Internet to get on the same page.If you're in the tech industry, ask your employer to arrange an ongoing sponsorship of the program now, before it is too late. The clock is ticking.https://libera.chat/news/osuosl-is-worth-saving#OSUOSL

At our last MGM, we approved paying for legal advice about the UK's Online Safety Act. While we can afford this bill… it is just one bill. Laws like this are multiplying. So as awkward as this is, we are asking for help. See https://libera.chat/news/advice for more context.

A massive thank you to all who responded to our previous post and our request for financial help.We have since received the legal advice regarding the OSA, and the news is indeed good.If you are interested, perhaps you also run a chat service, and want to know more, we have written a new post about our understanding of the advice we got at https://libera.chat/news/advised
