@evan @benpate 100%, you should get to do whatever you want to do for your family, colleagues, or 15,000 person server (if that's your desire).
My original reply is in reference to the original post about E2EE being added to Mastodon, which has has historically kind of sort of not been super great on the admin-gets-to-choose front, so I'm on record now saying make it optional for admins, or I have to pass the torch.

@jaz Ok, I'm confused. What are your concerns exactly about E2EE in the fediverse? Is it added complexity for server admins? As an user living through this period of the internet I barely see a reason why I wouldn't want E2EE for anything with direct personal communication. In fact I choose services exactly for that. Shouldn't good E2EE be able to operate securely especially under hostile conditions? And is that not the point of open standards to do so? @evan @benpate
