This happened to me. I maintain a pretty small macOS open source application and our IRC home was on freenode. I decided to move it to Libera, so I updated our website/docs accordingly and set the topic on the freenode channel to point at Libera.
At ~5am UK time today both myself and the other channel founder were removed from the ACLs and the topic was set to one like that shown in the LWN article.
I was able to get founder access back by asking nicely (through gritted teeth) on #freenode-services and now I am trying to work out how I indicate to users that they should look elsewhere, without freenode taking any further action.
