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

SlimSocial is the only one that I've found that still works, though might require some messing with the settings to get Messenger working through it.

Matrix bridges are an option for those willing to put the effort in and self-host. I might get round to doing this at some point.

It's not open-source, but I've settled on Beeper for the time being as the simplest option to get all my messages in one place.
