I use The Lounge on a VPS to solve that problem. It's a good practice in opsec instead of giving up entirely and sending it all solely to Discord. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/12926016807575-In-Channel-Conversation-Summaries https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/12926016807575... I can't escape Discord because of the network effect, but this recently rolled out in one of the servers I'm in and it can't even be turned off at the server level. Only at the individual level. Servers can also enforce phone verification. And at the end of the day, getting someone to click a link you control to see their IP is simple enough on any platform.

This just seems like a lot of work when the reason Discord won was ease of use.

  For sure! You could use something like IRCCloud to achieve the same thing, but as a tinkerer I wanted a solution that lets me own my data and is easier to use than an IRC bouncer. And I can provision new accounts to friends/family. But only my software dev friends took on that offer since Freenode/Libera is really the only reason to use IRC in 2024, and their channels are generally all programming-focused.
