[sword-devel] moving away from freenode

(Context: For those unaware, Rocky Linux is a 1:1 replacement for
Centos, now that Centos 8 is in its premature last year, becoming a
"stream" release positioned between Fedora and RHEL, rather than in a
post-RHEL rebuild position.)
I was not awareuntil now that channels were being branded with "topic
violations," and then "seized" somehow. So it appears that the freenode
meltdown is proceeding ahead of expected pace. And it seemed previously
that opinion is widely that we should finish abandoning freenode in
favor of some{where,thing} else.
Personally I'm in favor of Discord, mostly from simple familiarity.
Any other concrete suggestions that folks would be interested in
bringing into existence promptly?
