ErionWhat's the state of <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#matrix</a>, <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/xmpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmpp</a> and <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/irc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IRC</a> as far as <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenReader</a> -accessible clients are concerned? Desktop (Windows, Mac) and mobile (iOS, Android).Hoping for some input, please feel free to boost. As far as I know:Matrix does not have a lightweight, fully accessible client for desktop, but one could be modified, such as <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/gomuks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gomuks</a>. On mobile, Element has scrolling issues, which is unacceptable for large rooms.XMPP has accessible desktop clients (I used to run <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> on the Mac), also <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/weechat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeeChat</a>. No idea about mobile.IRC is perhaps the one which everything supports on desktop, from <a href="https://tardis.pw/tags/mirandaim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MirandaIM</a> through Weechat to the old Freedom Chat, which I could probably rewrite if I had to. Also not sure about mobile, but it would definitely need push notifications, because we can't expect people to stay constantly online on the go.

Ted Curran M. Ed.NGL As an early adopter I've gone through the full hype cycle with <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Beeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Beeper</a> messaging on <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> (*ahem iMessage*) but ever since it was acquired by <a href="https://mastodon.social/@photomatt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@photomatt</a> it's been firing on all cylinders and has become my default <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/chat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chat</a> app on desktop and mobile. It's like a modern day <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Trillian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trillian</a> or <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> for <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/RCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCS</a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/SMS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SMS</a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Whatsapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Whatsapp</a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a>, <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Messenger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Messenger</a>, and more.

Stefan :veritrek:<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@rmondello" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rmondello</a> ohhh this was a great time…. <a href="https://social.stefanberger.net/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> was my rescue after switching from Windows to Mac.

SörenI’m not that unhappy with <a href="https://norden.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a>, and the grass is always greener on the other side, but indie apps aren’t as vibrant an ecosystem as they were in the 2000s, so I wonder if looking into <a href="https://norden.social/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> would bring some of that joy of <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> and <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Growl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Growl</a> and the likes back.

12pt9<a href="https://mastodon.social/@jhpot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jhpot</a> Nice! I was lamenting the state of <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> the other day. And for old farts like me I'm happy to see that it's not mobile only.

Kadin<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@miah" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@miah</a> One of the saddest parts of the modern Internet is the realization that the high-water mark of instant messaging was probably somewhere around 2005, and most of us barely noticed at the time.Oh, Adium and Pidgin, how I miss you both (and multi-protocol IM clients more generally). <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/instantMessaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#instantMessaging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIM</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Pidgin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pidgin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/IM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IM</a>

12pt9Is there such a thing as <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> that still works? I'm holding on to a Tw*tter account simply to DM people. Looking into Wire again but I believe they use Amazon servers. Which is a big no-no.It should be - <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> - desktop - free - if possible for <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a> ánd Windows (7…) - not of the Amazon/Alphabet/Mega/… type - private & secure<a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/InstantMessaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantMessaging</a> <a href="https://cinematheque.social/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a>

SörenThings change and people move on (several <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> devs went on to work at Apple), but I do think we’ve lost an app that• was native • was OSS • had people put thought into UX *and* whimsy • supported many protocolsIt was never good at file transfers, audio/video were always mere plans for the future, and it predated the E2EE era.But maybe some day, we can have something as good again.

SörenSeven years ago, I asked on Twitter if <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> was still being developed, and perhaps needed a Kickstarter. (It was basically dead then.)Today, Twitter itself is dying.I guess at least Adium wasn’t bought by some annoying billionaire?

Adrian Schönig :kangaroo:I'd love it if an eager Objective-C veteran would fork <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> and distort it into a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> client for macOS. I miss that icon. Get started here: <a href="https://github.com/adium/adium" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/adium/adium</a>

SörenI only vaguely remember having used <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Twitterrific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitterrific</a> (moved to Echofon at some point, then was on Tweetbot for a long, long time), but I knew I once made a bunch of hacks to retrofit additional features. But I didn’t quite remember when and *what*. Apparently,* all the way back in Jan ‘07! My account was but a few days old * setting the instant messenger status in <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a>, iChat, and Skype up your latest tweet after tweeting 🤯 * various shortcuts, including a global one to show the window

casey is remote<a href="https://mastodon.online/@mauricerenck" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mauricerenck</a> Why did <a href="https://social.freetalklive.com/tags/adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adium</a> stop working?

Noah LiebmanNow that federated services are back in, can we revive <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xmpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmpp</a>? I want to use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> and have a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/buddyList" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buddyList</a>

dstu<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@FoolishOwl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FoolishOwl</a> yeah, I'm coming from a perspective of wanting to use a single interface for messaging, like <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Pidgin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pidgin</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> of yore. As a platform for secure comms, Signal seems reasonable to me (a software engineer who doesn't usually do security or encryption, and who hasn't actually vetted the platform beyond its social credit in tech circles).

Noah Liebman<a href="https://front-end.social/@Una" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Una</a> yes! I miss transient status messages like that. Change it as often as you want without annoying people. Write weird <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a> scripts to show live data or make them interactive. Those were the days.

TOV<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adium</a> is a free instant messaging application for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macos</a> that can connect to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/xmpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmpp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/jabber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jabber</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/irc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#irc</a> and many other protocols using the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/libpurple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libpurple</a> library.Black East Indian Duck is an ornamental breed of domestic duck. It has very dark, lustrous greenish-black plumage and a black bill.<a href="https://adium.im/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adium.im/</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Indie" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Indie</a>

Nixfreakman I remember <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pidgin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pidgin</a> eons ago , using <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adium</a> with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/osx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#osx</a> though.

Klaus Zimmermann :unverified:<a href="https://glitch.social/@tixie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tixie</a> the only client I used for OS X (years, years ago) was <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Adium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Adium</a>. It met your listed requirements and supported encryption via OTR, but sadly still doesn't offer support for modern, multi-device encryption like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OMEMO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OMEMO</a> yet:<a href="https://omemo.top/#Adium" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://omemo.top/#Adium</a>I'm not sure if other modern clients like Gajim or Dino run on Mac OS, you may look into those as well.
