I just found out facebook no longer supports xmpp interface, and it's
using its own api [1].
However I found a plugin for pidgin on github [2]. It seems to be
working fine for me.
If anyone interested, the following PKGBUILD is also working for me:

I'm not using it but a quick aur search found this:
https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/purple-facebook-git/
If you think whatever you are using is better, you could publish it to
