I'm not trying to be snide here, I mean this very literally.
I don't know what I don't know about operating an E2EE, patio, porn, or recycling business. All I know is they are all regulated, require licensing, insurance, have wildly different requirements in different jurisdictions.
I've done the work for operating social media services.
I have no intention of doing the work for any of the other services listed.
(Export controls come to mind though.)

@jaz @benpate @earth_walker I understand you do not know, but my point is if you are operating a mastodon instance, and you are connecting users via https, you are already operating a E2EE service. That is what https is (via TLS, used to be SSL). You do not need to know more to have your messaging be E2EE within the instance unless they have done something very wrong with the masto instance. It's an international standard, the concerns you have can be raised, but likely are not valid.
