I am getting flashbacks of the mid-2000’s IM landscape. Soon we’ll be using 10 services bundled into some hackjob app that doesn’t support all of the features but keeps the chats in one place.
Pidgin was good; it did what needed to be done and wasn’t that bad at it.
The last service I was using it for was a self-hosted XMPP server for a small group of friends that were all refugees of other defunct services. We ended up finally moving to Slack or Discord (the group bifurcated along game-playing lines).

Dont do pidgin too dirty…
I tried pidgin and it didn’t land with me. I always went back to Trillian.

Now I’ve got to find something new yet again!
Hey… Trillian was awesome.
Lmao that is the exact program that came to mind.
