These are more or less gone, with a few exceptions like <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/BeagleIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeagleIM</span></a> and <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/MonalIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonalIM</span></a>. Might be a different situation on Linux though...</p><p>This is sad. For me XMPP on its high was the pinnacle of IM.</p>
