@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.

@reflex @earth_walker Yup. The current notifications UX on Mastodon is not great. Fortunately, they know it. I can't speak for their plans or timelines, but I know that they've been considering ways to change it. It's a thorny topic, especially for a huge system with millions of distributed users. My hope (completely made up by me) is that this E2EE project gives them an opportunity to revisit notifications in general. I have confidence in the Mastodon team to make something fantastic :)
