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.

    that’s nonsense.

    You can use any chat app that works, just don’t expect privacy

    that was the fucking point, that they are making it illegal to change this for the better

    unless you’re a pair of trustworthy cryptography experts using secure devices at both ends. Near future tech should make it more possible for regular everyday tech users to achieve what an expert could do today

    you don’t have to be an expert for it today, but in the near future easy private tech will be illegal so that you will have to be an expert on it.
