@jaz @benpate @earth_walker HTTPS is E2EE between the server (instance) and client (app/browser/etc). It ensures data in transit cannot be intercepted easily. E2EE messaging is the same thing but user to user, essentially keeping the data invisible to the server (instance). Same principle. It's commonly used and typically invisible to the admin.
It does not block screenshots, reporting mechanisms will still be valid.
Again, assuming this implementation does not do something weird.

@reflex @benpate @earth_walker I believe you may be underestimating my understanding of and experience with internetworking including the network and transport layers, but I'll just say that encryption in transit is not end to end , and the simple fact that I can moderate user-to-user (end to end) content on my service expressly informs that fact. Let me put it another way, I have no intention of operating an unmoderatable community service.
