A big difference is that on Discord anybody who joins a server gets access to full history of chat logs whereas with IRC you don't get access to any past logs. So compared to IRC, Discord users should have an even lower expectation of privacy.

But IRC bouncers have existed since forever - logging by someone in your channels was basically guaranteed outside of /privmsg.

Nobody should have any expectations of privacy on discord. It's all privately hosted, owned, etc. Why would anyone think it's private?
