I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

I miss pidgin for the cross platform chat
Anyone remember trillian?
Libpurple had constant breakage due to proprietary apps having no incentive to keep their protocols stable. A lot of it worked easier then since no one was using e2ee either. Newer gateways exist in the space but it’s a real shame since for a brief time the earlier 2010s, most chat applications were using the same protocol—until they realized it’s harder to capture profits when the garden walls are lowered.
i miss when using the internet gave you ptsd because of the actual things that you saw, rather than the software that you were using.
I've only recently threatened to take my own life due to spam. Never thought that'd be my 13th reason.
gotta love the internet, only the best, for the worst, and the worst for the best.
Try Matrix bridges or Beeper
I miss pidgin so much. I tried to use it the other day with Discord and it was terrible. So God-awful.
i use c0nnect for the calyx xmpp/jabber instance
