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.

SlimSocial for Facebook in the F-Droid store seems to have one - but I haven't tried it myself.

No, unfortunately, which is why I deleted the original message:(
