I remember I used to have Pidgin, but facebook closed the messenger API (I think, this was a while ago) How does this work?

For pidgin I think you can host your own xmpp server?

I think the core issue is that I don't have enough social clout to get people to change messaging platforms.

Yeah, exactly. This is why Facebook exists.

We could solve this problem if we think about it in the right way.
