@codl fuck I must have gone through most of them. I started with... ICQ I think? that got old REAL fast when I started getting spammers day in day out but there were a few contacts on it. Then my dad got AOL for our ISP (because it was free) so I had AIM through that, so then I got AIM and ICQ as separate things, then MSN came about and I had friends on that and it got REALLY annoying using all three but then Trillian was a thing. Welp.
@codl (switched to Pidgin eventually, then with MSN's decline/death and AIM starting to shut down as well and me just dropping ICQ entirely years before when all the friends I had on it disappeared/moved to other platforms, dropped that too last year since all I had was gtalk and telegram and Skype was nigh impossible to use with Pidgin and only had like ...two friends on it that I talked to... so now it's discord and telegram =w=; )
