Yea i prefer other platforms but all my friends use it, its the only real way to talk to my mom remotely (shes deaf) and for all its faults its consistent and reliable

excuse my curiosity, i don't use facebook. What makes facebook a helpful messenger for a deaf user?

I assume they mean that making a regular phone call is not an option, and FB Messenger is better than SMS. Just speculation, though.

But there so many other and much better options than Messenger for text chat, so I still do not understand the need.
