+                    rooms:</strong></p>
+
+                    <p>Our official chat channels are migrating away from freenode IRC due to
+                    <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7ev8y/freenode-open-source-korea-crown-prince-takeover">a
+                    hostile takeover</a>. As part of this, we're migrating to new Matrix rooms
+                    with an upgraded room version which are not bridged to the freenode channels.
+                    The #grapheneos:matrix.org and #grapheneos-offtopic:matrix.org aliases now
+                    point at the new rooms, although we've also made #grapheneos-new:matrix.org
+                    and #grapheneos-offtopic-new:matrix.org to make it easier to join from home
+                    servers with broken caching of aliases. Web client links:</p>
+
+                    <ul>
+                        <li><a href="https://app.element.io/#/room/%23grapheneos:matrix.org">Join the #grapheneos:matrix.org room with the Element web client</a></li>
+                        <li><a href="https://app.element.io/#/room/%23grapheneos-offtopic:matrix.org">Join the #grapheneos-offtopic:matrix.org room with the Element web client</a></li>
+                    </ul>
+
+                    <p>Matrix rooms are decentralized and these rooms aren't inherently tied to
+                    matrix.org or another server. We plan to add tombstones redirecting users from
+                    the legacy rooms, but the half-baked automatic room upgrade feature wasn't
+                    appropriate for this migration.</p>
