To IRC's credit, its lack of server-side history encouraged users to keep their own logs, and depending on the community those logs would show up online. I've had IRC channel log pages show up in web searches before, and be helpful. Having to use a bouncer or go to a website was a pain, though, and lack of redaction is a very mixed bag. With Discord's or Matrix's server-side history, you can see old messages by default, but users or attackers could also delete some of those messages (silently on Discord), and on Discord a deleted account becomes anonymous in the message history (unless their name happens to be transcribed, not mentioned). |
