libpurple bridging support is being achieved through matrix-bifröst (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost), this is via node-purple.

What changed your view on HA? I was about to get started with it...

That isn't true at all - Matrix has a rich and growing ecosystem of chat clients. For Slack clones, you're well stocked, but the links given to you by the parent shows there is much more out there.

When did you last try Riot? Version 1.0 was released last month, and in general Riot performance has improved a lot in the last ~year.

There is a new and much more actively maintained WeeChat plugin, take a look: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/weechat-matrix

Thanks for pointing this out - the website is updated now to include poljar's work. (We did feature it on the blog but important to keep the projects list updated too!)
There are several competing Python libraries, those you mentioned plus https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-python. We'll do a round-up and review of the options soon.

Riot is currently undergoing a lot of UX work, the results look really promising. Take a look in January for an update.
Disclaimer: I work on Matrix (should have made that clear in the parent comment too)

Self-hosted, decentralised solutions such as Matrix (https://matrix.org) are available, and allow you to keep control of your own access and data.

There is support in Mozilla Thunderbird - but as a chat mode, rather than email as you might be expecting. You can enable it by changing the value of "chat.prpls.prpl-matrix.disable" to false in the advanced config editor. Still, since it really just enables a chat client, another Matrix client might be better suited.

Email is a good analogy - this is even alluded to in the project FAQ: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq#how-is-this-like-e-mail%3...

I have no particular loyalty to Instapaper, but their major feature over Pocket, for me, is sending a compilation to kindle as an ebook (Kindle sees it as a magazine, complete with TOC.) People have been asking for this feature from Pocket for a while now (http://help.getpocket.com/customer/portal/questions/286894-k...), but without much encouragement that it will appear.

I don't understand - that's never resulted in an error for me.

Per-route monopolies. It is clear what was meant.
Good place to get started reading: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/introduction
