the primary problem with Pidgin is libpurple [
https://pidgin.im/news/security/ ] and a more appropriate mitigation
would be Qubes isolation, perhaps Whonix-Qubes on new 3.0. :)

as indicated in the thread, there are not any good alternatives.
xmpp-client and irssi-xmpp-otr, others quite weird usability wise.
