The issue is migrating all the bridged kde matrix rooms (most of which are freenode portal rooms) that we use to be instead using libera.chat

While the portal rooms to libera.chat can already be accessed, the bridge is only considered to be in a beta state 

However we are trying to avoid every single matrix user having to change every room they are in and having to manual remove the :kde.org room alias and then set it on libera.chat rooms. EMS are working hard on getting that ready for us
