I'm looking for something like Snikket or Prosody, but kids-oriented. I DON'T want my <10 daughter using Meta Messenger Kids! I'll tell my friends to setup for their kids, too. I'd have no access to anything, so it's secure (mom and dad not snooping per se), but the downside is minimal parental controls. Though, no one to really add either.

I'll host or pay for it, IDC. It doesn't seem like there is much out there either.

JusTalk seemed nice when I found out but apparently China owned and so no more secure. I/we need better options!

Why does it need to be a kid's messenger? Why not a regular secure messenger?

Anything marketed as a kids messenger is probably going to be crawling with pedophiles.

More so cuz the camera filters and stickers that appeal to kids. My wife let's my daughter use her Snapchat just to take selfies with the filters. Meta has that bullshit too
