Are my AIM chats safe?! /s

You should be using AIM OTR: https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/

Adding to this there is pidgin-otr and python-potr.

For IRC there is irssi-otr. There was weechat-otr but I think it may have gone unsupported as their script did not work in python3.

There is also ejabberd [0] that has OMEMO [1] preferred over OTR and PGP and supports many to many E2EE.

Someone tried to MitM Jabber, discussion here on HN [2].

You kid, but there are still some active AIM users (or at least, a revival of it)
