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.
SlimSocial is the only one that I’ve found that still works, though might require some messing with the settings to get Messenger working through it.
Matrix bridges are an option for those willing to put the effort in and self-host. I might get round to doing this at some point.
It’s not open-source, but I’ve settled on Beeper for the time being as the simplest option to get all my messages in one place.
I seem to be unable to change my feed view or sort type either using the drop down at the top or the menu, and changing it in the settings seem to just revert back to all/active as soon as I press save. (Have checked using an account on an 0.18.0 instance.)
