Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?

Looks like ICQ is finally shutting down, just as interest in retro internet tools is growing.

All these people "rediscovering" old tech like we didn't abandon it for a reason. No, I don't want to build a PC out of old Commodore 64s that barely works and needs to be coded in assembly when I can literally get a mini PC that's 100x more powerful for $120.
