I haven't thought of those apps for years, I used Pidgin! I had to look up the program name.

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
