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

Fun fact, FB Messenger used to be based on the federated network XMPP. The same way that Google Messages was.

Both Google and Facebook made sure to Embrace Extended Extinguish XMPP. I was there. At some point I could talk from my Gnome contacts to both, it was incredible.

Don't forget that. Don't federate with Threads. There's no room for corporations in the fediverse.
