What personal data are you actually sending to the IRC server? They can associate your IP with your Nick, and that's... It. I suppose chat logs are also your data? And the results of the port scans, if those are saved? But this seems honestly less than what the average website visit sends out

Associating everything you've ever written with your IP is a pretty big one, if there was ever any expectation of anonymity.
It would include your email address if you register with NickServ.
An IP address, alone, is considered PII under GDPR.
