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 😉)

What my perfect use-case would be:
- Private instance (@mydomain.org)
- Allow other instance USERS to be able to DM me (user@matrix.org --> me@mydomain.org and vice versa)
- NOT allow my instance users to join rooms on other instances (child@mydomain cannot join room@matrix.org)
But given how DMs are essentially rooms…I’m not sure that level of fidelity is possible

@carlyman not sure how/if you can prevent a user on your instance to join another instance room, my kids never tried this anyway… They want snapchat and not that weird thing their dad set up 🙃
