You can use the download your information tool to download all your data on FB, including all your messages https://www.facebook.com/help/212802592074644

A Brooklyn based artist did this recently and made a book of his conversation history (and covered an apartment with some of the pages). You can find a bit more information and pictures at https://www.halfspace.uk/messages-2011-2017

Unfortunately, the feature to export your messages is only available to Facebook's data partners.

We've asked you many times to stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN. If you can't or won't stop, we will ban you.

your ignorance adds nothing of value to this conversation. facebook data partners do not have a download your data button. that's not how any of this works.
