All of the messages I post on Mastodon and twitter are intended to be public, just like the things I write on my website. End to end encryption would only make things harder without actually protecting anyone's privacy.
- snvzz 9y agoSure, but does that include followers-only and private messages? Also, lack of encryption allows for selective censorship on the fly.
- confounded 9y agoDevelopment resources are pretty limited, for now it seems fine to use the right tool for the right job; there are plenty of E2EE chat services that can be used, and if there’s significant interest, a norm for favoring one will likely develop (like with imgur and Reddit, for example).
- snvzz 9y agoFair. In this case, do the right thing and disable private messages. Either offer it properly or do not offer it at all. It's irresponsible otherwise.
