IM's are a nightmare anymore. There are no multi-use clients that still work. Facebook has pretty much taken over the IM game (and screen real-estate for that matter).

I love me some Kopete, but the two IM services that I use are not available anymore. I need to have FB Messenger to keep in contact with family and friends. And I would prefer not to be on FB's web-site at all times. I also prefer to use "Telegram" for my friends that do not use FB.

What happened to the Multi-IM programs? Do Pidgin and Kopete even hack it anymore?

There are some pidgin third party plugin options (https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins) for additional protocols .
