Are they E2E encrypted?
@danialbehzadi @pixelfed hopefully not. That isn't in the spec yet.
@resynth1943 @pixelfed turning plaintext messages to E2E encrypted ones doesn't require any specs. It even can be done manually by the users.
@danialbehzadi @pixelfed There's no defined way to actually communicate via E2EE. Are you talking about encrypting the messages on the server?
@danialbehzadi @pixelfed What I meant to say was there's no defined way via ActivityPub. Matrix, on the other hand, has blown it out the water.
@resynth1943 @pixelfed
No, that wouldn't be E2E. Encryption should be done on clients.
@danialbehzadi @pixelfed Well yes, obviously. I assumed you had got your terms mixed up. My apologies.
@danialbehzadi @pixelfed To be honest though if you want proper E2EE maybe just use Matrix. Lemmy delegates DM stuff to Matrix and that's probably a good idea.
