there's no way to opt out

Yes there is a way to opt out. Just opt out of Facebook and Meta products all together.

If not everyone using messenger, I would. I'm not using Facebook tho, but it doesn't help much

Everyone has an excuse but you've gotta start somewhere. There are probably hundreds of ways to message people and we would all survive if Meta and it's products vanished.

I don't know anyone who uses messenger WhatsApp sure but messenger? Really?

Any company run by Mumsnet huns seems to use it by default...

Depends on where you live, Australia I believe use Messenger more than other applications.

WhatsApp didn't catch on here outside of the big cities.

Just use the Messenger app or messenger.facebook.com then, you won't see Threads promotions nor be exposed to other Facebook stuff

I use Facebook Messenger but not Facebook or Treads, just set up bare minimum profile and highest privacy settings.

I believe you can disable your Facebook account but still use Messenger, couple of my friends don't have a profile but can still message.
