Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Thank you all for the suggestions. It's very diverse, everyone seems to be using something else. I will have a look.

Thunderbird has an IRC interface as well! As for standalone: XChat.

For an irc client, I recommend Weechat, though I haven't used it for a while. :/
It's wonderfully extensible, with perl, python2, ruby, tcl, and lua support.

My girlfriend and I recently found Telegram after having troubles on my end with the horribly outdated Linux Skype client; e.g. buggy, no instant image sharing, etc. I heartily recommend Telegram for those not put off by the lack of FOSS servers. It has all the features one can expect, sharing images, animated Gifs, videos and links within the app, an Android app, and most importantly: They keep it up to date across all OS's! ^^
I was quite surprised when I saw GOL now has a Telegram feed, but I'm not complaining :P

By the way, diaspora* has quite a lot of Linux users, because it's probably most feature rich FOSS social network, and decentralized one with that.

I've tried looking into diaspora, but to be honest I find the entire interface terrible. It's really not for me.

Its interface changed quite a lot during the recent years. How long ago did you check it?

What exactly do you think is terrible about it? Also, what's the version that your pod is using?

Example of how it looks for me (opened #linux tag):
I'm sure it can be improved, and there are several efforts for it. But it's very usable.
