So my group chat on live messenger finally disappeared (yes, it still worked up until now, somehow).
What is a good alternative? Skype is fucking gay and IRC is too old school for my normie friends who were also still using live messenger. Must have a PC client and have a permanent chat room that you can just drop into and out of. Message sync is not important. I like not getting messages from these types of chats when I'm not online.

Oh and non-botnet preferably, I forgot to mention that.

How was MSN not botnet?

telegram - absolutely no botnet because the guy is crazy anti-gov russian
Landon Bell
It was, but it was the botnet I knew and grew up with. Friends didn't want to change so I stuck with it. Now that it's dead, I finally have the chance to push something less botnet.

As if there aren't any better applications for multi-user chatrooms than Skype.
Skype being so fucking terrible is the whole reason I was still using live messenger in the first place.

Because it supports a bunch of chat protocols your normies can use their bloated shit and you can use Pidgin.

Slack. Slack is the fucking best.

Slack is nice
Everyone sees your email, so it's somewhat different and should be considered when making something open
But coming from messenger, that's not really a concern
Slackbot a cute

Whatsapp has group chat and a browser client and you can probably tell it to not show you messages on your phone.

Irc is the only non botnet, and it doesn't support voice chat or images. You should at least try discord. You dont even need to make an account.

Mumble

Slack is nice yeah, I use it to communicate with my classmates. Not sure how good it is for personal non-professional communication though.
Whatsapp is out of the question. It needs a mobile account, needs your cellphone to be online and is generally shit on PC.
Telegram could be great, but I don't trust their homemade encryption scheme.
Mumble is more for VOIP which is not what I'm looking for.
IRC is pretty good but hard for normies and somewhat limited in features.
Google/Facebook shit is obviously too botnet.
I don't know... is there anything better?
Has anything topped MSN in the way they did group chats? I loved the amount of customization that allowed for. Like different font colors for different users and shit.

The only secure chat is point-to-point with audited source code and trusted encryption algorithms.

Whatsapp is for poor third world country cucks. If you're going to use something like that, at least go Telegram so you literally don't have to give everyone you're phone number just to talk to them.

Trying Slack right now. So far it seems pretty perfect. How's their security?

If you want to download anything from that site you need to be from Bulgaria. So set your X-forwarded-for header to any IP adres from bulgaria.
