    Most of my IRL friends were on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), and it was the platform I signed up for first (as like...tymew2000 or smth). But, I probably used MSN Messenger a lot more, as most of my online friends used it lmao. If I had to choose between the two, it'd probably be MSN.

    Which platform did you prefer? Which did you use the most? (Or did you just use...a completely different platform like Yahoo Messenger)
     
    Well thas a good question tymew2000, the answer is MSN is superior and anyone who disagrees is wrong and very old (likely over 55)
     
    MSN/WLM is where i spent a vast majority of my early internet years so i'm going to go for that. barely used AIM at all, really.
     
    I started on AIM when I was 11 or so and we had dialup...dark days. My teens were spent on MSN and it was my main chat client for years, I had so many contacts and it felt so much easier to connect with people on it. WLM was trash. Like, worse than Skype trash.
     
    I don't remember AOL or it being a big thing. By the time I was growing up facebook chat was already out there, and that's how i kept in touch with everybody from school. I never felt the need to use anything else.
     
    I didn't use either of them? I used Skype, lmfao. By the time i used Aim it was literally dead, and MSN made me anxious because of the loud noises whenever you got messages...now you can't even pay me to use instant messaging services.
     
    Old times, I used yahoo messager and MSN messager because it only thing my friend ever used to communicate those were really common back in the days
     
    Oh, fond memories of MSN.

    That's how me and my life partner stayed in touched.
    Staying up till 12am on webcam.
    Spam-Nudging friends to the point of annoyance.

    Kept in touch with my first few friends from Pokécommunity on MSN too.
    I still speak to one of them through discord!
     
    I used both back in the day. Half of my friends had AOL and the other half used MSN. It was hard to navigate between the two tbh.

    I do miss the little widgets and winks MSN had. Those were epic.
