Like most people, I use discord for pretty much everything - but I do keep MSN and the new Yahoo!Messenger on me when it dies.
...Except for talking to my datefriend! We actually use an app called Between instead It's a cute IM for couples, I enjoy it.
When I was a teenager I also used LINE quite a bit. I still adore it as an app, but no one I know really uses it haha. This was back in the Skype days too, when most things weren't all on Discord.

I use escargot MSN and i talk to people there from time to time, you can join the official discord group because there you can find all the chat groups that exist on escargot and you can befriend people and talk even if you don't know anyone

In the past I remember I used to use AIM Phoenix, it was a revival server of the old AIM Messenger although nowadays it seems to be very inactive or something like that. Last year I was also trying to use XMPP/Jabber but I didn't find it very useful to me and I stopped using it.

I use Conversations and Element on android.

I think going back to the corporate spyware exploitation messengers just because they're old is the wrong step. They're the precursors of what made the internet what it is now.

I personally use XMPP/Jabber via the free and open source Pidgin client, and occasionally IRC on libera.chat.
All free and ethical.

Mostly Discord, admittedly. There's a few Discord servers I frequent that I've made friends in! I also have Escargot/MSN and XMPP accounts, and I need to use those more...
