  Matrix, and I recommend selfhosting Continuwuity as it is lightweight and easy to spin up. Your other option could be XMPP with Snikket or proper Prosody.

  Though do you have any particular features you wanna bring over from Facebook Messenger?

      Personally I like Sable, it feels closer to Discord, has call support, and “just works”

      I’d say Element is the one to go for. A list of clients is available here:

  Are you asking just for general self-hosted messengers? Why did you mention Facebook specifically?

  Pidgin, maybe. I like it.

    Man, I haven’t used pidgin in almost 20 years. Throwback, or whatever the kids say these days.

  I tried a bunch. Right now I’m running Snikket (xmpp) and it’s been very reliable.
