I haven't thought of those apps for years, I used Pidgin! I had to look up the program name.
Pidgin was dope
Pidgin is still around too afaik.
I still use Pidgin, because I still have some old work related contacts who use Skype, and I'd much rather use Pidgin than keep Skype around. It will do discord too but it's a bit kludgey.
It will do discord? That's amazing, I will have to look back into it. Discord has been awful for a while, but getting people to switch is impossible. 😩
It will! There's a plugin: https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord
Blast from the freaking past! Wow, you just unlocked some memories for me.
Emesene and pidgin were great! :)
Trillian was amazing, until it was overtaken by malware. At least that's what my antivirus at the time said. Also, proprietary, so I passed on it after finding pidgin.
