Excited to see #Matrix unveil #Cerulean! I hope it puts some pressure on #ActivityPub to implement e2e...
@liaizon I am doubtful there's a way to bolt e2e encryption on activitypub. I'm thinking workarounds can be used, similar to how gpg messages are being sent over email, but without considering the need for e2e from the design phase is not really possible to add it cleanly to a protocol. (Of course, I am not assuming to speak for the ActivityPub social group, or any of its members, it's like, just my opinion, man)
@liaizon the hard part about e2e for social media is that there's a key you have to store reliably somewhere on the client and use to encrypt and decrypt things. Okay if the client is an app, major PITA if it's a browser. Basically you aren't doing any of it if your website isn't a single-page app.
But then people will still want privacy settings about who can view something.
@liaizon I played with concept 4 years ago lol https://matrix.org/docs/projects/other/freebird
