Remember when you could just use various apps to talk to your friends and not just ones that stuck you with a proprietary protocol? I was just inadvertently reminded of #Trillian ☺️
Yes I know #Trillian still exists, but I stopped using it over a decade ago.
The whole discourse about differing 'microblogging' sites, reminds me of the Instant messaging war.
Where different platforms kept adjusting their API to not be compatible.
Personally I was delighted to discover #Trillian back in the day, as I could be logged in to ICQ, MSM, AIM, Yahoo chat and IRC all via the one client.
I wonder if we will see something like that again.
Azért az most nagyot menne, ha valaki kifejlesztene egy alkalmazást, ami egy felületre tudná terelni a #Twitter, a #Mastodon, a #Bluesky és a #Threads felhasználóit, hogy kommunikálhassanak egymással.
(Lásd: a #Trillian a chat-programok területén.) 🤓

Remember #Trillian, which tried to become the single chat app that could communicate across all chat apps? Wonder if someone will attempt something similar with #SocialMedia?
@djsundog ah man, #Trillian, that brings back memories!
Back when skinning UIs was still the norm for such applications.
Sadly my 8-digit #ICQ number got killed off a couple of years ago due to inactivity... :( then again, nobody but bots were left on there anyway...
Don't think I'd find any of my other contacts one any of the other services either.
