A floppy purple pigeon has been making waves on social media, popping up in comments sections, and lending itself to many a meme spinoff, leaving many an internet user to wonder, just what is Trash Dove and where did this wacky pigeon come from in the first place? The animated cartoon bird flooded Facebook news feeds over the weekend, becoming the latest viral phenomena to grace (and torment) social media. With one giant eye and a knack for head banging, the sticker has become a universal catch-all reply for any post — although it's also quickly becoming controversial. But whether you love the strange little guy or find his virtual omnipresence annoying, this city-dwelling dove doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon.

Trash Dove is the creation of Florida artist Syd Weller, who first designed the bird in early fall live on her Twitch channel, reports the Daily Dot. By late September, Weller had turned her original drawing into 'Trash Doves,' a set of 25 downloadable iMessage stickers 'For your coo' conversations.' The stickers showed the purple bird in a variety of animated poses, from carrying a briefcase to sipping coffee and trying to fit a donut around its neck. Then, on Jan. 31, the sticker set arrived on Facebook and was quickly adopted in Thailand. Trash Doves went viral in Southeast Asia as early as Wednesday, Feb. 7, filling comments sections and inspiring some.. interesting videos.
So why did this purple bird capture the hearts of the people of Thailand? One theory is that 'nok,' the word for bird, is also slang for someone 'hopelessly single or suffering from unrequited love.' Many of the Trash Dove videos feature young men bopping their heads along with the Trash Dove. It's no surprise that once people discovered that the animation of the bird thrashing its head up and down worked so perfectly when set to music, the sticker became instant viral gold.
Did I mention that the Facebook stickers involve a lot of bread? Because that's pretty great, too.
By the weekend, Trash Doves' popularity spread to Europe and the United States, where hashtags such as 'Purple bird' and 'trash dove' began to trend on Twitter and in Google search results. In a few short days the purple bird has been parodied, turned into countless memes and gifs, and used to troll Facebook posts around the world.
But before you start posting Trash Doves repeatedly in a thread, the meme has seemed to take a darker turn. In the Facebook comment thread of a New York Times article detailing the instance when the Nazi-era anthem was mistakenly played at the Fed Cup, the Trash Dove was posted a whopping 93 times by the same person. Trash Dove has seemingly been co-opted by the 'alt-right,' putting it in the same category as Pepe the Frog and even edging into some Neo-Nazi territory with some unfortunate photoshop. Hopefully, Trash Dove will be reclaimed, and we will not see such an adorable meme be used for purposes of hate.

Facebook shut down their XMPP service earlier this year and because of this, Pidgin/libpurple no longer supports Facebook Chat. For those of you who want to use Facebook Chat in Pidgin, there's a new plugin which makes this possible, called purple-facebook.
The plugin has been in development for about two months and is still a work in progress, but it is already functional and most things work as expected, including opening existing group chats and creating new ones.
According to its wiki, the Facebook Chat plugin is already implemented for the development version of libpurple, purple3, which has yet to be released and the purple-facebook project is a backport of the purple3 plugin to purple2, the released version of libpurple which is used by Pidgin and other clients.
The reasons for using this plugin instead of a stand-alone Facebook Chat alternative are having all the messaging protocols in one place and of course, the tight desktop integration provided by Pidgin, such as native desktop notifications, taskbar alerts, Unity Launcher unread count and Messaging Menu support (for the Unity features to work, make sure the Unity Integration plugin is enabled in Pidgin).
At the time I'm writing this article, the plugin doesn't support chat/friend additions or removals, but these are on the todo list. Some more advanced features like link previews or stickers are also not supported.
Install purple-facebook in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives
To install purple-facebook in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives, you can use its official repository. To add the repository and install the plugin, use the following commands:
If you don't want to add the PPA, you can download the DEB from HERE (but you won't receive any updates unless you add the repository). Or, grab the source and build it yourself.
Arch Linux users can install purple-facebook via AUR. On Windows, follow the instructions from HERE.
Once installed, add a new account in Pidgin (Accounts > Manage Accounts > Add) and in the Protocol dropdown, select 'Facebook' (important: NOT 'Facebook (XMPP)'):
I should also mention that in the username field, you can enter either your emil, your Facebook username or phone number associated with your Facebook account.
