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.

🌼 Mirabilis ICQ — Did anyone here use ICQ back in the 90s? I was shocked to learn my UIN actually still works today 🤯
