@scottjenson I would love to see UX improvements. Make it clear the limitations of "Private" Mentions. Make it hard to send a PM publicly. Users are misusing PMs now. The UX doesn't help the user. It would be nice to help them as soon as possible.

E2E would be fantastic, but encryption is going to take a while. And like another reply wrote: I'm not convinced it is possible on a federated system given email and xmpp still have only bad solutions to encrypted messaging.

@knapjack
How can the sender validate the public key hasn't been tampered with by the instance or server admin?

It is a hard problem. There are solutions but it will be complicated.
