Thoughts on Matrix for kids (lemmy.perthchat.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I have been trying to figure out a way that my son can have a messaging account, that doesn't track him and that we can limit who he has access to and who has access to him.

What are you thoughts on matrix for kids?

Are there any features available for that sort of control? I really only want him to be able to contact his family (and also indoctrinate him into matrix and open source young ๐Ÿ˜‰)

I think having matrix is useful for eventually letting them federate without needing a new account - just enable it on the server. Nextcloud chat won't have that advantage

Sure. Federate with another trusted server, but probably not the general one - you might want to avoid that.
