And now here I am, nostalgic for the good old days of having one chat app that could connect you to everyone over XMPP/jabber.

Pidgin exists

Please, don't recommend pidgin, it's a security hellhole, and a pretty terrible XMPP client at that. If you want something with a similar vibe, check-out https://dino.im/ or https://gajim.org/ if you are more on the "power-user" side of things :)

Yeah you could even communicate between facebook and google easily. The world didn't have to be full of walled gardens.
