Yes, it is still OK to use those services. The law is aimed at the messaging/social media businesses, not individuals, and is vague enough that they won't have to do anything around their E2EE until there is viable technology available to square the circle of allowing for the checking of illegal abuse content while not functionally destroying E2EE. So potentially never.

This is what I use. Not amazing, but given it's possible to use Messenger through it as well if needed, it's better than nothing.

I'd been on the waitlist for more than a year, but finally on. I downloaded the app a little while ago to keep tabs on my progress through the waitlist and they definitely have been speeding up the process of getting people onboarded to be fair.

I've currently settled with Liftoff. I got very used to Jerboa and was perfectly happy with it, but the last few updates broke it to the point of unusability for me.

Liftoff isn't perfect, though its pretty good. My biggest gripe is that as far as I can tell there's no button to go straight to the top of the feed, which is really annoying when you've been scrolling for ages and have to scroll all the way back up. Hopefully that will be added soon.

This is genuinely very cool and has made me nostalgic enough to consider trying to get hold of one for my Game Boy! I only wish I had some photography talent, as it's quite a feat to take good photos with something so technically rubbish.
