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.

If you get a Pixel with GrapheneOS preinstalled, please please PLEASE do your own fresh installation of GrapheneOS anyways. You can't trust what some third party may have done with it before you get it.

Of course, that's the plan. Having it preinstalled is just to make sure the device was able to run it before I reinstall myself.
