At secushare we are using psyced (a visible implementation of the PSYC 0.99/1 protocol
is running at psyed.org for almost 2 decades now) as a daily chat server,
accessible via webchat, irc, ircs, telnet, xmpp, etc through tor
and through "clearnet".
Through my time spend on various IRC centric networks I have found
no better solution, IRC is fundamentally broken.
The mufhd0 network which A/I (Autistici/Inventati) runs requires no
checks for tor users, aswell as the hackint network (or at least they
used to, no idea what hackint is doing these days), and psyced.org.
There are some more networks and servers like this, but their number is
small.
