I wouldn't trust Meta even with E2EE

Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing.

But it's a company that actively collect all your info.

It's closed source and they still have meta data

@frank @dansup Probably they apply the Telegram strategic, we have real e2ee but is not by default.

@dansup Looking forward to mandatory E2EE for DMs on upcoming sup, on pixelfed and loops E2EE should be optional for the DMs to ensure DMs work with other platforms like mastodon and misskey.

@dansup I wonder if this has anything to do with their anti-fraud and sextortion efforts in response to child advocacy groups…

@dansup Such as shame. Why do we need messages on Instagram in the first place? Like use Messenger or something. And it's their own messaging app ffs. Now, I am switching to RSS. Fuck Meta

@dansup Also thank you for making PixelFed.

@dansup Switch to Session, FOSS, Desktop + Mobile apps, no phone number needed, no corporations behind, no governments.
