@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"

Yup. Explaining the ins and outs of tech to regular people is hard. I *think* there's a warning on the Mastodon web app, but that doesn't carry through to the app I use on my phone. re: UI and UX should match. 100% agree. But E2EE isn't for everyone, or every server. And it's important to make the tradeoffs as clear as possible to regular people using regular language. When I get there, I'll post screenshots of my balancing act. I'd love to hear what you think :) @reflex @earth_walker
