Two thoughts on this:
Encryption will only be for private conversations. I don’t know what value there would be for encrypting public communications. SIGNING makes sense, but encrypting? No.
Also, this is not on Mastodon, and I can’t say when they’d ever implement it. It’s Fediverse: Bonfire, Emissary, and any other project that follows us. It’ll be a new use case for our open network tech 🤘🏻

@benpate@mastodon.social @fedifox@ohai.social @_elena@mastodon.social @liaizon@social.wake.st @Sascha@bonn.social Apologies, I did burst in with an opinion and didn't properly read the thread :/ Yes for DMs/PMs and ofc by default for most services. It's definitely nontrivial with potentially many participants esp people joining a convo. Ring signatures seem like the natural fit.
