looking family chat/call solution (lemdro.id)

Looking for a family chat/call solution for windows and android which does not require a phone number and is children friendly.

Currently I use synology chat (since I have a sinology NAS) but it is not very good and does not support voice/video calls.

The only acceptable alternative which I can think of is Matrix. Are there any other options?

Depends on what you mean by "child friendly". On my instance I control discoverability of channels as well as the bridges to other protocols. If that is fine for you I don't see a problem with a public instance - just make sure to set up encryption and save the recovery keys somewhere (at least for older children where they can control access).

Child friendly for means that porno is not in 2 taps random from a family chat (like this is in telegram) and that I could disable strangers to nock my child account.

Basically I do not look for ultimate control, but want it to be a safe place for a child who generally follows my tool usage instructions 🙂. Telegram here is an anti example for me, you go to setting people neraby and see a big list of "people" with porn avatars and sexsevice names.
