Signal's core value proposition is radically increasing the expectation that one is having an e2e encrypted conversation. I love Element's product and mission, but a product which explicitly is eroding and complexifying privacy around a 3rd party product which is about privacy seems to be a bad tradeoff, and also stands to undermine the public perception of what Element is all about. I would suggest either carving out the e2e platforms (particularly Signal), or introduce functionality that will ensure conversations had through the bridge inform the counter party that the messages are not e2e encrypted. It's the right thing to do.
