As someone who’s completely in favor of E2EE and is literally building it into ActivityPub right now..
This is a perfectly reasonable point. E2EE is not for everybody or every server.
Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll allow it in the servers that I run (bandwagon.fm, etc)
Maybe just for myself? Maybe paid accounts only? Probably not for free signups though.
There are valid reasons to enable this, and not to enable this. It must be opt-in for everyone involved.

@benpate @earth_walker I'm removing Jaz due to abuse. However the problem here is that regular people just assume comms are private. We even call them "Private mentions" by default on masto. Obviously people should not assume that, but they do. Education is not a real solution, especially when the name is so misleading. IMO the UI and UX should match, and both should be geared towards default user assumptions. Only Security pros assume otherwise on these things. "Individual mentions"
