@mhoye Hey, so, wonderful stuff. I appreciate the notes. I'm going to address them separately.

@mhoye First, you say that E2EE doesn't matter to anyone. However, my user experience research shows that secure DMs are extremely important to people, and they're one of the main reasons people feel they can't build up real social connections on the Fediverse.

@mhoye Second, the projects we have on the site right now are for our immediate execution. They're also there to show the kind of thing we can do in the future.

@mhoye I find the point you're making important. I'm going to add it to our discussion for future projects.

@evan Please understand that from the perspective of a site owner or administrator, E2EE messaging functionally means "my server might be hosting and redistributing things that I might go to prison for and I have no way of knowing or checking."

I realize that I am only speaking for myself in this, but there is _no way in hell_ that I would ever choose to self-host infrastructure that put me in that position, and I can't imagine anyone knowingly choosing to do that.

@mhoye I am not a lawyer, but I believe your responsibility for content on your server goes way down if you cannot access it.

That said, we will include mechanisms so that people will be able to report messages they receive and they will be non-repudiable.
