Here is the guide to stay safe with pidgin. Staying safe with pidgin means you will need Off The Record Messaging and the tor proxy to stay connected, so lets get started. (LINUX MACHINE)
1. Download Pidgin. Open your terminal and type sudo apt update then type sudo apt install pidgin.
2. Set up an account. You need to set up an xmpp/jabber account. To do this you will need to find a good xmpp host. Here is some links for hosts on xmpp - Xmpp.is http://6voaf7iamjpufgwoulypzwwecsm2nu7j5...kid.onion/
Or Hot chili net https://jabber.hot-chilli.net/
3. Log into the account on pidgin that you made on your xmpp/jabber host.
4. Download OTR. Use this command in terminal sudo apt-get install pidgin pidgin-otr
5. Go to plugins then enable it.
6. Go back to edit account. Click on proxy and set it on Tor/Provacy (SOCKS5) Go on host an type in (127.0.0.1). Then Set your port to 9150.
7. After setting your tor socks5, turn your account off and disable it. Enable it and put your password in.
8. Your account is now secure
