     @mwt @kev @RyuKurisu @mike It's called message franking and we have that implemented. Though the whole function is not live yet. The apps haven't implemented it yet.

     @kev @RyuKurisu @mike @Gargron if the posts are signed in addition to encrypted, users could theoretically report abuse to admins in cleartext.

     Then, the signatures could be used to verify that the cleartext report is the true message that was sent.

     @RyuKurisu I actually think that’s a really bad idea as it would open the platform up to abuse. Users wouldn’t be able to report abuse because admins and mods wouldn’t be able to see the contents.

     No idea what @mike and @Gargron thoughts are, but IMO private messages are best left to services like Signal and their ilk. A social network isn’t the place for that. Just my 10p worth. ?

     @mike you know what I think would be an awesome idea? That somehow Mastodon would integrate PGP keys and you could send encrypted "private" posts between users.

     It is just a morning thought so I don't have details how @Gargron could make it work, but the jest of it would be that those that if both parties added their public key to their profile would automatically start using it when sending anything other then public posts ?
     Client software should handle the private key? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
