Pidgin
Pidgin is a versatile chat application that allows you to log into multiple chat networks simultaneously. This means you can chat with friends on XMPP while also participating in an IRC channel. The application supports a wide range of chat networks, including but not limited to Bonjour, Discord, Facebook, Google Talk, Hangouts, ICQ, Instagram, IRC, Skype, Slack, Telegram, and XMPP. This Pidgin installation comes with default chat plugins and a series of third-party ones. The application also includes Firefox to help you fill out captchas or pre-auth before loading your credentials into the program. Pidgin can be accessed at http://yourhost:3000/ or https://yourhost:3001/. The app is designed to provide a seamless and integrated chat experience across multiple platforms.
