I didn't read any mention of the Public Key Directory server approach/proposal (c.f. https://soatok.blog/2025/12/15/announcing-key-transparency-fediverse/) in the post nor the two pages it links to. I think overall E2EE is important for messages, full stop, but I do hope that it won't be as user - opaque as Signal and WhatsApp nor as rough of a user experience as how matrix was when I used it back in 2019.
