@Raccoon@techhub.social WHY PRIVATE MESSAGING OMG. That's fucking awful. Nobody needs E2EE haphazardly slapped on the protocol for a false sense of security with private messaging. You want encrypted private messaging? Go to literally any other platform fedi is not the place for that. I am actually pissed, there's no way in hell that I would want to administrate something like that. I have seen countless examples of Matrix home servers going wrong within this community due to a lack of moderation tooling. We're not talking just a couple racists we're talking about child sex trafficking, csam distribution... Ugh. That pisses me the fuck off. Rich text posts are a nicety to have, I'd really like for things to adopt markdown and not mfm (fuck mfm imo it's okay but it's not a markdown and it's definitely not something that's viable long term. it's a gimmick). I guess I missed their "mission" page. Now I'm even more furious, because none of this is going to help the fediverse be widely adopted.

We are at a turning point. Running an instance is a lot of fucking work, we lack moderation tooling (yes, every software currently out there has some sort of flaw when it comes to mod tools. Akkoma has some bulk moderation tooling but is also lacking in other areas). The last fucking thing we need is encrypted dms to be used as a tool for harassment. We already suffer enough with how you can't disable replies in a post. It is awful that this is used as a vector for harassment in combination with setting visibility to restricted modes (such as follower only, so that only the original author can see the bigoted comment and the fanbase of the bigot can also jump in). What the fuck were they thinking? This is some actual shit. Fuck .
