imo was one of the last multi-messengers, where one could stay connected with almost everyone regardless what they used. It was a good time. It was a sad day, when I realized that they will pivot to their own solution, but I guess it was better for them.

Beeper does a great job at this. I use it for all my IM needs.

A Linux (or at least web) version would be nice ...

- Russian Yandex.ru trackers on their website
- proprietary app
- no Linux version
Looks like houndreds of others shitty chat apps, why even post it?

Not to mention the awful stock photos on the home page, and the word salad on the about us page: https://imo.im/about_us.html

Does that mean Imo.im is in fact a messenger created by or in Russia?

Its a strong hint it is

It wasn't originally -- it was created in Palo Alto, by people not affiliated with Russia. It's gone through changes since then, though, and I don't know the current ownership status.
