    I can’t believe this is still going. I used this back in the day as the superior AIM client. This was truly a blast from the past that I didn’t expect in 2025.

    Interesting, that’s a name I didn’t hear in a long time!

    I’m wondering if matrix support is planned at some point (maybe even natively, I’ve seen that there is a plugin for it but the last commit to that was 2 years ago)

    Ι hope they stop all their old protocols, and include only xmpp, matrix, irc, and maybe a couple more relevant ones, but drop msn/icq etc old stuff.

      I think ICQ, AIM and MSN messenger are all dead now. WhatsApp works on Matrix via a bridge. Not sure about other platforms.

    It doesn’t work well with XMPP unfortunately

    Using dino, blabber, gajim, psi+, or conversations, but will go back to pidgin when it adds xmpp to v3.

    Tell me it’s rewritten in Rust, and I’ll orgasm.

      yes

      Initially Pidgin 3 supported both GTK+ 2 and 3 but shortly after Gary took over, GTK+ 2 support was dropped. A few years later, it was then decided we should just bite the bullet and move to GTK 4 instead, as GTK+ 3 was no longer being actively developed which meant we were just creating tech debt. As part of the GTK 4 migration we also pulled in Adwaita even though we’re not an official GNOME application.

        Aww man (well it’s fine but ngl libAdwaita fits poorly outside of gnome)
