Trillian

Fighting to tear down the walled gardens of instant messaging since before Y2K.

@kellabyte via federation of some sort, or a standard plugin? we can code it up together when you're bored. 😀

[Trillian @trillianastra]

trillian was first released 20 years ago today at 5am after an all-night coding spree, freshly compiled with visual c++ 6.0. it looked like this (thanks @ryansaghir!) and only connected to IRC at the time. to all of our users, thank you for two decades of support! 🥲 👴🍰🥂

@drahcir_rahl https://t.co/yf3KeNRRU5 is latest 5.x series

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@kellabyte did they open the protocol?

@GregYevich hi greg, we are tracking a comcast outage that seems to be the culprit - https://t.co/qE1WcyXLHe - sorry for the inconvenience!

[Trillian @trillianastra]

to those of you having connection issues, it looks like we might be dealing with a comcast outage - see https://t.co/cC97w5rvRu

@fridayschild713 no, AOL is discontinuing the entire AIM service. :(

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@WhyLizLovesYou nope, they're taking the servers down so the whole network is going away

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@darrenmcentee yup, working on one for 6.2

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@Priz not sure yet, they can use our web client in the meantime?

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@DraveShift can consider a pref or something for newer versions

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@DraveShift i think the * was causing a bunch of flashing bugs with windows so we got rid of it at some point

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@DumbPuppyBrows agree... remember you can get back into AIM for now (they fixed the issue) and i'll talk to team about multi account support

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@DumbPuppyBrows what about jabber/xmpp servers? if your community is big enough maybe someone can do the hosting

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@DumbPuppyBrows ok - you *can* run multiple copies of trillian at the same time but it's not ideal - will think about something better :)

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@SkyDX aim is suiciding slowly, seek greener pastures asap :)

[Trillian @trillianastra]

@florianna make sure you are running the 6.x windows client and it should be ok
