Everyone's saying this like Pidgin was Linux only but I used it for years on Windows.

On Windows, there was Trillian!

I used trillian but switched to pidgin on windows back in the day. Trillian wasn't the only option on windows.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I used Trillian for a few years before going to Pidgin because it was much lighter on my system, both were on Windows.
