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.

    I’m actively looking at used Pixels with GrapheneOS installed, they aren’t that pricy these days, but even without those already getting rid of the app-level scanning would be an improvement.

      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.

        It’s definitely going to be context-based:

        • I don’t mind getting used Pixels for my parents and my sister
        • DeltaChat allows to create several profiles, so I can at least have one profile dedicated to chats with my family where everyone uses a secure device
        • for other stuff, I accept that it will be scanned, but it’s less critical
