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 😉)

@carlyman @palitu on your own instance you only have the accounts and rooms you want. I have zero public rooms on mine. Only if you join a public room elsewhere does it get synced to your instance.
Blocking DM is a client thing I guess? I have had zero unwanted DM so far though...

so, I could make a room called mum and dad, have it "private" and only invite the three accounts.

it could work.
