Use gajim instead of pidgin (more secure OTR chat)

Hi community

Gajim is a similar client to pidgin, while it only allows XMPP (jabber) accounts it makes OTR much more secure. I’d rather be limited to just jabber then have a false hope that OTR is encrypting the chat properly. Read this for a detailed explanation as to why: https://micahflee.com/2013/02/using-gajim-instead-of-pidgin-for-more-secure-otr-chat/

The problem of it only using XMPP (jabber) can be resolved with this: http://www.jaim.at/server/

Thanks!
