(Hypothetically) wouldn't it be possible for client devices to generate key pairs, and for messages to be stored on the server encrypted in such a way that recipients' client devices could decrypt them? (I think that's what Signal does?)
Not saying that that's what happens on Mastodon instances, I don't know enough about it's operation to comment.
- remram 4y agoYes, end-to-end encryption is possible. It just needs support in clients, as well as a common protocol if you want it to work between different clients. Mastodon has actually done some work towards that but I don't think it's useable yet, see https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/13820 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/13820
