Irc is dead atleast on libre chat
It's become so complicated. To use Libera chat IRC I need to register with a name and email now? Back then I just connected to the server, joined a channel and started chatting. Now I can't send messages or anything. Everything's blocked. It sucks.
If you really want privacy, you could run I2P. Here's some notes on making an IRC server over I2P.

its always moderation . nostr is basically irc now but much better also it is filled with crypto bros . 1 thing i dont like about nostr is there will always be this probability that someone will generate same private keys
