What services does it still support? AIM and MSN are long gone... so, that leaves IRC and XMPP?

We're rewriting everything out of necessity. Right now IRC is the most well supported but Zulip is half implemented with just DMs right now but channels will be coming soon.

There are third party plugins in varying degrees of completeness for YouTube, signal, whatsapp, twitch, and hdhome run. More info on those here https://discourse.imfreedom.org/t/purple-3-pidgin-3-gaim-3-p...

+1 for Telegram support

Still looks like an app from 1999

And that's good. We still had UI/UX standards in 1999.
