Following the "voluntary" scanning added in the latest EU Council Chat Control vote, what is a realistic option for a family/friends chat? Is self hosting your own Matrix/DeltaChat server the only opt (piefed.zip)

By "shared" servers I mean hosters like https://tchncs.de/en/ who offer a bunch of services (they do a great job at it by the way) including Matrix and Lemmy.

I'm thinking of moving my close family to a Matrix chat over there, but I guess long term they might have to implement the ChatControl scanning.

This whole thing is just stupid.

Thank you. I had a look at XMPP a while ago, but now DeltaChat seems a bit modern and with built-in encryption compared to OMEMO.

I just set up an account for a friend on their phone, the thing took 5 minutes, definitely nice than the Matrix experience.
