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 :)

@benpate @earth_walker Sure! I'm not trying to say it must happen, but man the interface needs to make that clear to the people using it. Private means private. Masto is making the decision to default the implementation to the UI, but the opposite is also perfectly reasonable.
