- Kye 4y agoThere's work on it, and implementing it at the protocol level may not be as easy, obvious, or as helpful as it seems. https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification https://twitter.com/LeaKissner/status/1592937764684980224 https://twitter.com/LeaKissner/status/1592937764684980224
- SahAssar 4y agoWhy do you think it's trivial to implement E2EE? It's extremely complicated to do it in a way that works well, and handling things like backup/restore of messages, how to handle key recovery in case of lost devices/logins, how to allow parties to verify each other are all extremely complicated questions both technologically and socially.
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agothe alternative to those inconveniences is random peole running your instance being able to read your correspondence
- SahAssar 4y agoSo you don't have an answer to why you think it's trivial to implement E2EE?
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agoit would've been during development, yeah. less so now, with many servers already deployed. it would be a clusterfuck like the email.
