You know instance admins can read your direct messages in the fediverse? Twitter and Facebook also can - and sometimes do - read your private messages, and they have infrastructure to comply with law enforcement requests. I'd love to see some end-to-end encryption built into Mastodon clients.
@micahflee How would you envision it happening? An embedded XMPP client + OTR?
@katjapurrs you wouldn't need XMPP because we already have the OStatus network. I think something like OMEMO, which is a newer fancier protocol than OTR, which supports multiple devices and multiparty chats, would be better. But apparently @Rushyo is already working on something! #e2e
@micahflee @Rushyo Cool, thanks for expanding my knowledge :)
