  • telepathy-qt

    Telepathy Qt bindings

  • It was based on Telepathy <https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/>. None of the built-in backends for XMPP, SIP, Skype and cellular calls used libpurple. (A libpurple-based backend could be installed from the community app repo.)

  • purple-discord

    A libpurple/Pidgin plugin for Discord

  • https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord

    Its about the same as any other Pidgin protocol (no audio AFAICT), with some support for some of the features of Discord like reactions. It gets updates for new features sometimes. The author has written a lot of different libpurple plugins and is quite busy though.

    Note I've heard you can get banned from Discord for not using the official client.

  • purple-facebook

    Facebook protocol plugin for libpurple (moved from jgeboski/purple-facebook)

  • I went to try the Pidgin Facebook plugin, and I couldn't login. There's no more app passwords as the plugin suggests, if you try to login without the 2 factor Facebook sends "Is This You?" notifications every time, but doesn't let you login if you say yes.

    There's github issue[1] for it and no resolution, except a weird python script hack to do 2 factor which may or may not be reliable.
