Sorry, "purged" is an incorrect term. What I actually meant is that a bot
entered each channel containing "libera" in its title, changed the topic to
something like this:

05:02:55 freenodecom set the topic: This channel has moved to
##channelname. The topic is in violation of freenode policy:
https://freenode.net/policies

and then created a new ##-prefixed channel.
