Messenger.com is no longer available for messaging

  This is a bit of a puzzling "announcement". Does anyone have more details on what’s actually changing? I don’t really use Facebook itself anymore, I’ve mostly kept Messenger for messaging. Curious whether this is an attempt to push users back toward the main feed experience.

    No insider info but this seems like two teams combined and one of their (redundant) products got shuttered. Not a typical "shutdown" announcement for a service since it was (AFAIK) just a different interface for the same underlying feature, accessible elsewhere.
