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 aur(4)
