Of course, I tagt it as infrastructure.

Try this steps:

1. Connecting to Libera.Chat | Libera Chat
2. Nickname Registration | Libera Chat
3. try to connect to #fedoraagain in IRC first.

from @kevin over on Fedora Discussion:

There was a errant ban on the libera side which I have removed.

But as @mattdm
