I hate Facebook but realized I can’t uninstall the bloatware Messenger app from my phone since I actually need it for Facebook Marketplace (I usually use it for selling second-hand stuff and looking for other products/services). Also I have plenty of friends there and it might be good to reconnect with some without dealing with the spyware Meta shit.
Also something for WhatsApp would be good as well
I use a matrix server with a Facebook messenger bridge. The only thing it can’t do is start new messages, so I still have to go to the site for that, but it’s not that big of a hassle.
I installe FB Messanger lite in the work profile via Shelter. It always stays freezed unless I want to use it.
Not an open source solution, bu the best working compromise I could find
SlimSocial for Facebook in the F-Droid store seems to have one - but I haven’t tried it myself.
Take a look at caprine: https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine
There’s no version for Android though, is there?
No, unfortunately, which is why I deleted the original message:(
I use Simple - Social Browser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.creativetrends.simple.app
Maybe beeper too. If you self-host it.
I use fb in a work profile in brave and desktop mode. there u can access messenger. its a bit of a pain but it works.
