@akrabu Thanks for the info and links. Others have been talking of Pidgin but I've used Gajim a little bit when I set up a XMPP server to talk with one friend who is rightfully distrustful of lots of communication technology being abused by corporations and governments.

@norayr Pidgin! I had forgotten all about that one. Used that one for years after Gaim.

@StanStani Yeah, Pidgin was a good one. I'm intrigued by Dino.im and Profanity now, because of that other post haha

still using it. (: my only way of chatting is xmpp. it is pidgin and dino. i don't like dino because it works much slower than pidgin, does more i/o for some reason. and it is sort of 'mobile', shows one window, while i like this many windows interface of pidgin.

pidgin has very useful plugins and feels much more flexible.

nowadays in xmpp world omemo is sort of de-facto standard for e2e encryption, and there is no plugin for it, alas.

oh, i remembered. for some time i had to work in a company that used slack - i connected via pidgin plugin from chroot. same with ms teams. same with skype.

but that was for work and temporarily. i would like to be more aligned with my conscience.

you can also bring the friend to the number of interesting chatrooms that exist on xmpp. it is possible to browse and check here: https://search.jabber.network/search
