I know, I know, but I can’t tell them to move or do anything, because I have to have Messenger because education stuff (school). I did not find yet any FB Messenger clients, only Frost, but I can’t use it for messaging. Can anybody help?

        It looks very cool imho. If you care a whole lot about privacy and your rights, make sure to go through their TOS and PP. I do hope that self hosting will become much easier in the future so that more people can use such interesting solutions.

        Beeper works with Matrix bridges. The Matrix protocol is afaik designed with the idea to be able to talk to all kind of other protocols (hence the name Matrix probably). For example Matrix-IRC bridges have existed for a few years now I think.

    Your request it’s a tough one haha. Keep in mind that Facebook also banned some users for using third party clients, it didn’t happens to every users, but sometimes happened. So, on android , a good idea would be isolate Facebook messenger in a secondary user. I don’t know if there is a web version of Facebook messenger for mobile. If there was, you could add the website to your homescreen and use it as application.

    @ajz suggested beeper which seems a valid choice, though is a paid subscription service with a $10 monthly fee. However, you can also use basically every other messengers within only one application.

    btw From the Matrix hosting page this one looks pretty cool to me : https://etke.cc/ They offer self-hosting install help and then they would do maintenance, with the option of Matrix bridging, e.g. to FB messenger.
