So far I really like it, anyone else using it? I’m really considering setting up the discord bridge and just using revolt

    Nope, it’s not. But Revolt and Mastodon share the same gimmic: no encryption. Why (as far as I know)? You can install these 2 on your own server, making you own your data and also handling the data. E2EE will not be important in that case (according to me). However, encryption (not E2EE) are important in any service.

        Nope, I know :) I just stated the encryption likeness between those 2. If the user don’t like and refuse to use Revolt because it’s not E2EE by default, then the user would have the same oppinion towards Mastodon. That’s all. Nothing more.

          It’s entirely different scenarios for use, though. For lack of a better term,

          • Mastodon (and Twitter and Wikipedia and Tumblr and Lemmy and Reddit) are public facing websites that may or may not have private facing components like direct messages
          • Discord, Revolt, and Matrix are gated communities that do have more private features
          • Signal, WhatsApp, and even Telegram are built around “private” messaging first.

          Generally, it only makes sense to want E2EE only for private-facing conversations, which happen a great deal on apps like Discord than on Mastodon .

          Also just to clarify, we do think e2ee for direct messages on Mastodon would be awesome. Maybe unlisted posts, but I’m not sure how that’d work. Still, like they said, Mastodon is a public-first platform.
