Yes, there was some drama in the early 2000s where a bunch of bad vibe people got forcefully shaken out.

I did some digging and have been able to find basically everything. I'm keeping it to myself. No dirty laundry here.

Also if pidgin could magically combine slack, messenger, telegram, discord, and Whatsapp in a single reasonable app ... It'd be a return to the glory days. The current state of half a dozen web apps is such a pain. Just text chat. Nothing fancy.

What a dream...
