We're introducing a nickname expiration policy change to help free up some disused nicks a bit faster than usual. It's called the "two week two hour" rule and it will start being enforced at 12 noon UTC this Friday (25th); see more here https://git.io/JnDzg
If you have used your account at any point later than 2h after registration, this policy change does not affect your account or any grouped nicks.

I was just about to copy the contents of https://github.com/Libera-Chat/libera-chat.github.io/commit/cf52115#commitcomment-52513840 as the initial message was quite unclear imo and looking at the commit replies, I wasn't the only one.
What you said above *is* very clear 👍
@FreePietje @jonn turns out raw policy diffs with no context are not a good format for communication, we'll be blogging with more detail and examples for stuff like this in the future.

@jonn this policy doesn't target grouped nicks on accounts that are otherwise ok.
If you have _ever_ used your account after it was more than 2h old, your account and grouped nicks will never fall under this policy.
