I still use Pidgin regularly to this very day. Of course I only really use it for XMPP, but I did actually configure it to connect to my old ICQ account a while back. Unfortunately is seems to have quit working sometime or other. Think I'm being bit by this: https://github.com/EionRobb/icyque/issues/27 No big loss, I think there was like 1 other person in my ICQ contacts list that was still showing as online every now and then. Still, it's a neat nostalgia indulgence to connect to ICQ after all these years... EDIT: I rebuilt icyque from the latest sources and it appears that I can once again enjoy the wonderful world of ICQ! If anybody wants to chat, I'm 17109168 on ICQ.

In Purple-Teams: MS Teams Plugin for Pidgin (2022)

Pidgin[0][1] supports a great deal of protocols and there is "End-to-end encryption, through Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR)" plugin you can install that can be used for just about everything it supports. If ICQ NEW still supports OSCAR it can probably used out of the box, there is also a plugin[2] for the newer WIM protocol.
