Yahoo! Messenger shut down in 2018
MSN Messenger discontinued in 2013
AIM Messenger discontinued in 2017

ICQ was really the last of them and it’s ending quite an era. This is, officially, the end of the Messengers.

I can almost breath the same as young me getting home, throwing my bag in my bed and jumping to the family PC in the living room to chat with friends. Man, I never thought I’d miss the 00’s. Why’d I wanna grow up?

WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, etc. It’s hardly the end, the market has just been gobbled up by the big players as usual

One thing those old ones did was have conversations in their own windows. I much prefer that over having to navigate back and forth in the same damn window to jump between convos.

Man and with the way they’re built today, there’s probably no hotkey that e.g. Alfred or Keyboard Maestro could help you press to navigate between conversations. Though I wouldn’t be surprised to find I’m wrong and that somebody’s figured out workarounds.

Msn was the best, I’ll never forgive Microsoft for killing it in favour of Skype.

I must have used all of them over the years. Can’t remember why, they were all pretty much the same.
