Hey,

Here is the solution ! The instructions at https://riseup.net/chat made me realize I \
should not attempt to connect to the server but simply add a chat to the server I'm \
already using (in the Buddy menu). Apparently the more recent versions of Pidgin do \
not call this a Room but a Chat. And there is no mention of TLS/SSL in the menu but \
that probably is the default nowadays because ... it worked :-)

Cheers
