Great panel in the (packed) EU Policy dev room on Fediverse and the DSA focusing on how the Fediverse is stepping up to decentralise and democratise social media - and bringing it out of the shadow of US tech behemoths. #fosdem

This is dangerous! The next social network must encrypt private user data and bring end to end encryption for private messages by default, otherwise this will be a giant privacy disaster.
Mastodon is absolutely not fit for that purpose and devs do not seem to care about these features.
In 2026 we should not establish social network software that is less secure than mail servers in the 90s.
Big mistake.
@FinchHaven @fedifox I don’t use mastodon for any sensitive communication. That’s what signal is for.
@FinchHaven @fedifox having said that, I agree that the fedi should support e2e encrypted messaging.
@torgo we are working on it!
@torgo I'm out in the hallway! 😭
