Huh, lots of reading material behind that phrase. I'd heard it
before, but hadn't looked it up.

I found Discord immediately wanted a phone number from me. I think
IRC remains the lowest bar for participants to contribute.
Agreed, anything that requires a phone number makes it difficult to be pseudonymous.
I recommend Matrix, since it doesn't require any privacy invasive information and has e2ee by default for 1-1 conversations.
The Matrix room could optionally bridge to IRC if there is a significant demand for that.
