@soatok@furry.engineer One of the worst parts of matrix's popularity is how they stained the reputation of E2EE: People _expect_ E2EE to be inherently buggy and user unfriendly, so they tend to delay or avoid trying alternatives that are E2EE.

@starsider@valenciapa.ws @soatok@furry.engineer even worse, for a while it made my friends think it was more secure, like "this thing is confusing and hard to use, and when we don't do something right it breaks messages; it must be really secure then!"

@starsider@valenciapa.ws @soatok@furry.engineer E2EE messengers there are at least good counter examples like Signal or even WhatsApp. But federated messengers getting solved would be like a miracle to me.
