I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it's important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don't want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.

Ahh, I recall using Pidgin, too. I think i ended up favoring it over Trillian. I already had accounts on all the services, so it worked out. I guess thinking about it, if only basic chat was supported, it may not have been terrible supporting everything
Having never heard of it, I tried Pidgin just now, and it's kinda exactly what I've always wanted. Discord support is really rough, though..
Woo Pidgin still exists? Lovely
Technically! It seems... ill-equipped for the modern world, though.
Hmmm... might have a new open source project to contribute to
