I can remember how I was able to chat with my Facebook friends with Pidgin, those were the days.
I don't think Facebook will allow any client to support chat like they used to do back in the days, unless you do some wired bridging hacks like you have to do in Matrix
Edit - fixed typo
- lostmsu 6y agoI still use Messenger via Pidgin. My biggest gripe is lack of support for latest Unicode emoji.
- rukshn 6y agoHow does it work now? usually back in the day I had to download a plugin enter email/username or password. and that's it. Does it require some bridge hack or something like that?
- lostmsu 6y agoIt looks like they reverse-engineered the Android client. https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook
