WeeChat[0] (or any IRC client, really, but weechat is nice) with Bitlbee[1] supports a metric assload of services, albeit by pretending they're IRC (which does work - I spent years in weechat/irssi with bitlbee talking to various people on disparate services.)

Or if you're just after Telegram/WhatsApp, nchat[2] is ok (I can vouch for the Telegram half only.)

Why not? IRC's a great protocol with both client and server implementations for every taste.
