I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.

Now I’m a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?

Just delete every meta/fb app. There are plenty of alternatives now. They will never love you.

If people are still playing within meta’s walls they are lost and won’t be leaving anytime soon.

But all my friends are on there! M-m-my followers!!!

They didn’t miss the boat, they straight up ignored it. Nothing has changed so why should their poorly reasoned decision?
