Ask for their email, then pen and paper. Or keyboard and a local, maybe synchronized contacts list. No, not sarcasm, no, not joking. I had decades old email addresses of friends I pinged when the lockdown started, and the vast majority of t

Matrix.org - built on matrix, a federated, but somewhat fat protocol -, or one of conversations.im, quicksy.im, blabber.im, www.jabber.de, etc, all built on xmpp. EDIT the point with these is tricky, because they are not all-in-one solution

Yes, it is. You're looking for this: https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp It has limitations, especially on media.

Adium is a frontend on libpurple. The frontend can be sort of happily dead if the backend - and it's plugins - are updated.

If you do that, you'll be labelled with "negative attitude" on your next evaluation. Been there, done that, and it wasn't even at Adobe.
