Recently watched the latest Veronica Explains (@veronica) video about self-hosting an AOL Instant Messenger server.
I think it's really cool, but I don't know how I would be able to connect a client to it on a modern computer and OS. Pidgin used to support AIM, but recent versions no longer support it. I think there's plugins for it, but I can't find any comprehensive explanation for how to do it.
Anybody got any suggestions? Ideally, it should be something that works on Linux.

One thing that I haven't seen in folks reminiscing about #AIM are the ads... I found a partial backup of my C: drive from ~2001 with the urlcache directories from my AIM profiles intact... I had to convert them, but these are some real proper GIFs, with tiny bits of the frame overlapping a large background. Real artisanal stuff.
I look at stuff like this and think: "This used to be someone's job."

July 15, 1978 - The Longest Walk, a peaceful transcontinental trek for Native American justice, which had begun with a few hundred departing Alcatraz Island, California, ended this day when they arrived in Washington, D.C. accompanied by 30,000 marchers.
They were calling attention to the ongoing problems plaguing Indian communities throughout the Americas: lack of jobs, housing, health care, as well as dozens of pieces of legislation before Congress canceling treaty obligations of the U.S. government toward various Indian tribes. They submitted petitions signed by one-and-a-half million Americans to President Jimmy Carter.

Using AIM Until the Bitter End
Hackaday published an article authored by Tyler August titled AIM-ing For A More Open Platform Than Discord, wherein he summarized an article on running a self-hostable open-source implementation of AIM's underlying OSCAR protocol (see Here's how I host my own AIM server at Veronica Explains). I appreciate the project to bring back AIM because I used AIM for many years. My own use of AIM inspired me to reply to one minor part of Mr. August's report. He began the article by asserting that […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/using-aim-until-the-bitter-end-07-15-26/

AIM nostalgia 2/2:
"The History of AIM (AOL tried to kill AIM)"
From its origins in 1970s Talkomatic and 1980s Quantum Link to its 1997 secret launch, this video details AIM's peak popularity in the 2000s, the role of iChat on Mac, the rise of competing platforms like Facebook, its 2017 shutdown, and its lasting legacy in modern messaging apps.
