Well fwiw, all of those people are no longer involved in the project.

  Yes, there was some drama in the early 2000s where a bunch of bad vibe people got forcefully shaken out. I did some digging and have been able to find basically everything. I'm keeping it to myself. No dirty laundry here. Also if pidgin could magically combine slack, messenger, telegram, discord, and Whatsapp in a single reasonable app ... It'd be a return to the glory days. The current state of half a dozen web apps is such a pain. Just text chat. Nothing fancy. What a dream...

    In the meantime, you can try Beeper which does that through Matrix. It connects all the apps you mentioned in a single app.

      Amazing. Will try it tomorrow

      Or self hosted matrix with bridges, which is basically what's underneath beeper. I use this ansible role to deploy it: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/ https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/

      Had not heard of this. Got it set up relatively smoothly. Great stuff, thanks!

    Beeper seems to be working ok for me for the moment

    there's basic text support for most of those in pidgin 2 right now https://pidgin.im/plugins/ https://pidgin.im/plugins/
