@phillip Meinste #Trillian?

NGL As an early adopter I've gone through the full hype cycle with #Beeper messaging on #Android (*ahem iMessage*) but ever since it was acquired by @photomatt it's been firing on all cylinders and has become my default #chat app on desktop and mobile. It's like a modern day #Trillian or #Adium for #RCS, #SMS, #Whatsapp, #Signal, #Messenger, and more. Keep up the great work!

Putting a bunch of bridges into Matrix to try and centralize my messaging is really giving me Trillian/Pidgin vibes. ​ Except Trillian/Pidgin were way more straightforward (no shade to Matrix, it's not really what it's meant for).

It's depressing thinking back to when XMPP was super promising and companies were on board to implement it. Instead of that happening, they all teamed up to crush it and messaging has stayed the same level of fragmentation (or, depending on how you look at it, gotten worse) in the meantime.

Today I'm playing around with #beeper , because I still have nastolgia for the glory days of #trillian

So far, so good. Discord and Slack integration leaves somethings to be desired, by for DMs this is probably my new home

Whatever happened to Trillian messenger?

Looks like they're now just a centralised messaging solution of their own but they used to be a killer multiservice chat client, perhaps the best joining MSN Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo IM, AOL IM, etc, into one client.

Yeah, thanks folks, I feel like I'm reliving good old days of #Trillian vs AIM as well. (I definitely feel like I'm sitting at my battlestation again this week for a different but similar reason.)

Let's see if #Beeper can fix this quickly though.

I was recently thinking about the app #Trillian again. (My thought process: I'd love an app that just lets me see all my chats in one place. Wait, I *had* that twenty years ago!) I wondered what became of it and to my surprise it still exists! They managed to monetize by specialising in secure healthcare communication, so medical organisations can use them for HIPAA-compliant comms. But they also still have the free app that combines all your #messenger apps! https://trillian.im/

The whole discourse about differing 'microblogging' sites, reminds me of the Instant messaging war.

Where different platforms kept adjusting their API to not be compatible.

Personally I was delighted to discover #Trillian back in the day, as I could be logged in to ICQ, MSM, AIM, Yahoo chat and IRC all via the one client.

I wonder if we will see something like that again.

Oh look. #Flipboard is the new #Trillian

Hey! I know!

Let's invent a messaging service where we replace ten percent of the messages with adverts, and then shuffle them so nobody can keep track.

What a great messaging service.

We'll be worth a trillion dollars!

A trillion!

@kelbot would using a bridge system like #Bitlbee be an interim solution perhaps? Unfortunately since Bitlbee presents itself as an #IRC server, it afaik doesn't support voice/video communication though.
Or alternatively a multi-protocol client like #Adium, #Pidgin, #Trillian? No idea if any of them still exist, but those are some I've used in the past to be present on multiple platforms while only using a single app.
