Do you still use IM for communication on PC? if so what's your prefered choice? I have not used IM on PC for long time, now want to choose one, so ask for your suggestion. I use Mac, and don't like skype. Thanks.
IRC Most of the time, mumble for VOIP, self-hosted jitsi server for video chat, and the occasional skype call to that one family member that has no clue how to use a computer, and I doubt could figure out how to use other, more secure options.
web.skype.com and Steam. Telegram on Android if I really have to (but I didn't use for years now because simply all of my friends, relatives and etc use WhatsApp but I don't use WhatsCrap).
You'll probably want to reconsider that. From their 'privacy' policy:

MSN(microsoft messenger or what) was great back in the day. Then everybody I knew jumped on skype. But when facebook became popular, then everybody flew to facebook. Then around 10-11, I had to register on facebook, just talk to somebody I knew who wasn't on the messengers above. It's all about facebook, instagram and selfies these days. And from what I hear, the youngsters are using tinder for business calls.
William said: god really, you use Slack even though you have other options? wtf.
The only reaosn why i use slack is because my employer forces me to do so...
I have all the other options on my tablet and mobiles. When I am working on PC, i mute those and focus on work - slack comes the only IM to communicate with my partners.

I use Skype and slowly moving to Telegram as it's securer and not providing the NSA with access.

XMPP through Pidgin. In the rare case that I need audio/video calls, I use Jitsi Meet.

skype is our main communication tool. It's not so bad, no real need to change anything so we just stick to it for now. Hangouts once in a while too

IRC mostly. Skype and TeamSpeak a few times a year.
If I had to choose I would use IRC and XMPP exclusively, but I prefer email to IM.
