Disa apparently works with multiple platforms which I also can't find a definitive list online either for.... Checking the app on my phone right now says Facebook, text, WhatsApp, and 'Third Party Plugins' that you have to search for.

This article is what I used to find the app, if you're interested. It has 3 other alternatives to Fb chat.

Wow, Trillian... It's still around?! I used that back in the MSN days. No doubt it's a different piece of software to the one that ran on Windows 98.

I'm gonna give Disa a go.

Holy nuts. Didn't even know it was that old until y'all brought it up. I would have used it a while ago if I knew about it. I'd assume it's more polished in this iteration. That said, Disa can be a bit janky at times with simple things like not opening the app when I click the notification and ordering the messages in reverse chronology (that's just my own peeve, not a bug... just a feature!). But, on the whole, it serves its purpose for me reliably, and I'm happy with that alone.
