I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.
Now I’m a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?
Would beeper be a better solution for you? Self-hosted beeper, and a matrix client on your phone.
ATM beeper Facebook bridge works fine. Use it daily. I’d prefer to self host beeper/matrix/bridges but haven’t had time to set it up and got an invite to beeper a few weeks ago.
But this means people will continue to use that network. It’s not desiderable for me
Can you pass any guides on how to do this?
