Efficient, supports terminal mode natively, open, and frankly for exactly this reason.
If whatsapp, or apple, or google, or facebook does anything like this then all you can do is shrug and accept it.
But if you have $5 a month then you can run an IRC network with a VM.
> IRC is still unencrypted in transit
Sometimes. But there's also a lot of TLS, and it's trending upwards.
> users have no anonymity
Less anonyminity against each other, but more against the central powerful provider.
And while you may have my IP on IRC (depends on the network), what are you as a private individual supposed to do with that information?
Whereas when centralized it becomes monetizable.
