- tptacek 5y agoThe story of E2EE on Matrix seems like a pure vindication of Moxie's concerns about protocol ecosystems, since it took years for them to get from an E2EE design everyone agreed on and that was working in clients to a point where they could default that E2EE on for users, because of popular straggler clients.
- Arathorn 5y agoNo, the reason why it took from 2016 to 2020 to turn on E2EE by default in Matrix was because we wanted to get UX parity with unencrypted in Element before we turned it on by default. It had absolutely nothing to do with straggler clients, popular or otherwise.
