The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
tbh Matrix was pretty green 5 years ago, so you probably didn't miss much. Thanks for considering a slidge-matrix bridge. On the Matrix side, we already have https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost as our main Matrix<->XMPP bridge, but it could definitely be better, and the more interop between open protocols the better \o/ :)

XMPP, a Comeback Story: A Protocol for Robust, Private and Decentralized Comms
Unfortunately XMPP<->Matrix end-to-end encryption is a contradiction in terms. You have to speak the same protocol from end-to-end, otherwise you'd have to break the end-to-end encryption to translate from one protocol to the other. The closest you could get would be to run the Matrix<->XMPP bridge clientside alongside your Matrix client... but at that point you might almost as well be running a multihead messenger that speaks both Matrix & XMPP.
In terms of adding Matrix to MUCs; i believe we're working on it in Bifrost, which is in active albeit slightly sporadic dev: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost.

Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix
My Facebook bridge constantly locks up my account. [1]

Most used selfhosted services in 2022?
Sure, I use this bridge (https://github.com/mautrix/facebook) to bridge synapse server to my facebook account, so I can use facebook messenger through my synapse server. I like it mainly so I don't have to install facebook messenger on my phone.

The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
It's unrelated, except for the fact that I used the reverse engineering of the facebook messenger protocol by the mautrix team. [1]
I may add a "matrix plugin" [2] if I feel like it someday, but probably after I implement group chat support. Then you'll be able to use XMPP<->Matrix<->some-other-thing for extra over-engineering points. ;)
I prefer XMPP because it's lighter on resources, server-wise at least, and it's managed through a democratic process, which has it upsides and downsides. As someone I like said "democracy is boring, dictatorship works faster".

Regulate, break up, open up: how to fix Facebook in 2022. After another disastrous year for the company, experts and activists see clear ways to tackle its problems.
There exists a Matrix-Facebook bridge, but unfortunately it requires a home server to run it and many people can't afford that.

mautrix-whatsapp error: access token invalid
I've recently set up a synapse instance on my home server using the official docker image, and a mautrix-facebook bridge also using docker. So far it's all working great! However, I've had issues setting up mautrix-whatsapp: when I follow the setup instructions on the GitHub I get the following error:
- Let’s chat about RCS
-
Element launches Element Home
like this?

Better than WhatsApp: Try these Free Software Apps and Services
The bridges can get a little more complicated, here's the facebook setup instructions for python, but if that's too much for you then I'd reconsider beeper (p.s. they said thanks for the feedback on the sign-up form). I don't know anything about their payment options, but I know that you can always just use the Element chat client, available for web, android, ios, desktop in the usual stores.
