Out of curiosity, how difficult _would_ it be to develop a #Fediverse system which incorporated an encrypted direct messaging system?

@juergen_hubert

Isn't Matrix E2EE?

Or do you mean adding E2EE messages to Mastodon?

EDIT: I just remembered that while Matrix is decentralized, it's not Activity Pub, so not technically "fediverse" (?)

I am not quite sure what the possibilities are - I just had the thought: "How can I make direct communication between Fediverse users encrypted so that fascist governments cannot read them?"

Although it would admittedly be swell if Mastodon integrated something on these lines.
