Am I reading this right? Is the only protocol being supported now the most recent version of IRC? Are there plans for others? Part of Pidgin's "calling card" has been its ability to support many different chat protocols. However, that's become difficult since most protocols have become walled gardens and harder to reverse engineer. I'd imagine supporting Matrix, XMPP, Signal, other protocols with open specifications, etc. would be a good idea

Would be good for Matrix to have more stable client than Element or Flutter based apps.

pidgin 3 looks very exciting. it’s worth noting that Element X already provides an spectacularly more stable Matrix client than classic Element.
