I've been able to use https://mbasic.facebook.com from an Android device for messaging. Not ideal, but better than installing one of their apps.

If you have Chrome for Android (only browser/device I've tested this on) you can check request desktop site for https://m.facebook.com. You'll stay on the mobile version, maintain all of the mobile functionality of the website plus access to messages without the download redirect.

Yeah I've been trying to use mbasic now, it's obviously a really poor experience. I also like the ease of video calling on Messenger, but I'm still keeping it off my phone. Hopefully Google Duo is better. My phone got very laggy after I installed Messenger as well. I'm very suspicious of Facebook.
