I tried searching the forum for this question but perhaps I don't quite know the magic search terms.
I am using an XMPP server. Is it possible to reduce the long identifier string used to identify my own texts in a conversation window? It looks like three piece of information are currently displaying: username@server/resource.
Modify the XMPP account and add a "Local Alias." It's in Pidgin's Basic
acct setup tab, in the User Options section. For example, put "me" in
there. Then, your own identity in the conversation windows will be "me"
instead of the full JID with resource.
