Yeah sure, teenage gangs are totally going to do that...

I sense sarcasm, so apologies if my question is off base.

Why does this seem unlikely to you?

People who join teenage gangs do not have enough computing knowledge to host their own end-to-end encrypted chat services.

Surely that is obvious?

Teenagers figure out how to hack locked down consoles, which are hostile to make money.

All it will take is someone to make a fediverse chat that can be simply stuck on a Pi from a premade image, and automatically runs a script to update the DNS with their IP and the kids will do it.

Someone will make it easier. All the stuff you use today used to be a lot harder and more complicated than it is now. People worked to take the difficulty off, usually because they wanted to do the same thing and the difficulty annoyed them.

> Surely that is obvious?

It kinda is but I didn't want to make that assumption. That is what I had assumed, for what it's worth. (Actually, I figured it was either knowledge or resources.) It also helps for the reason to be given explicitly so others can weigh in with relevant arguments rather than one that refutes something you didn't mean.
