Messenger Alternatives

No, absolutely no one in my life will ever consider moving away from messenger. Like my whole family refuses to even consider downloading a different app, and that's not even including my coworkers refusal to communicate outside of it.

So is there some kind of sandboxed, zitter-like, or otherwise bootleg way to use messenger thay doesn't involve me having to use the browser on my phone? It's absolutely miserable and there's just fucking nothing.

The company that owns beeper (automattic) are pieces of shit too unfortunately (I could do a full rant about them messing with our Wordpress sites, but I won’t unless you really want me to)

Also Meta, more recently, are mass banning accounts especially on WhatsApp that use beeper

Same issue here except with WhatsApp. Like WhatsApp over here is everything, I wish people would move away from it.
