@darius Yeah. I’m in favor of a better UX. I’m even more in favor of fixing the glaring safety hole before encouraging new adoption. I’m a thoughtful server admin, but even I don’t trust me with your DMs. (And yes, I totally had the “I read your emails” sticker back in the day.)

@darius heh i think we’re agreeing, yes

@darius Yep, and I think the UX benefits could be big. I thought I heard that Mastodon DMs can’t support e2e, though. Which means it’s missing an “end” unless you only interact in the same client (like Signal iirc)

@darius Do fediverse DMs support end-to-end encryption? If not, I suspect it would be difficult to make a client that is DM-first without leading folks into an insecure pattern.
