The bottom of the article links to the history (individual features) of other IM programs from that era as well like ICQ and Yahoo Messenger.

I still use Pidgin, because I still have some old work related contacts who use Skype, and I’d much rather use Pidgin than keep Skype around. It will do discord too but it’s a bit kludgey.

It will do discord? That’s amazing, I will have to look back into it. Discord has been awful for a while, but getting people to switch is impossible. 😩
