    That’s fair, but IRC also tends to leak information about users to everybody. They’re maybe bad in slightly different ways, but frankly if you care about privacy that much you probably shouldn’t use either, at least not with additional protections.

      IRC doesn’t even see that much info about each user to begin with, especially compared to Discord, and if you’re talking about public IPs - hiding them from other users is now a common thing on servers.
