Pesterchum is an instant messaging client that copies the appearance of clients from Andrew Hussie’s webcomic Homestuck.
The latest official version of the program is 3.41, and after the original developer dropped support in 2021, the fan community picked it up and started hosting fan servers. The largest one that this page refers to is Pesterchum.xyz, with executables in version 2.0.

Pesterchum Rules
Pesterchum used to have an official server with its own rules, but as of 2021, that is no longer the case. However, I think they are good rules to follow regardless, and the fan server administrators can ban you if you don’t follow them.
