Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?

Looks like ICQ is finally shutting down, just as interest in retro internet tools is growing.

It runs on any old raspberry pi (any but raspberry pi 1 I believe) in your house, can be used by family and friends as well. Has iOS and Android apps... I have had good experiences with the easy to set up https://snikket.org/ XMPP server.
