What other chat protocol that you've decided replaces IRC handles misbehavior of network owners as easily as IRC does? Whatsapp certainly doesn't.

Isn't WhatsApp the same protocol as Signal under the hood?

No. Both use some form of double-ratchet for E2EE, but the messaging protocol itself is completely incompatible.

Fair enough, I don't even remember where I saw it. Some random internet guff information I guess.

Cheers!
