@lina I was wondering specifically about your perspective on this line of thinking: "I really, really don't care about E2EE for text 90% of the time <snip> For video/voice you do want E2EE"
This seems a bit of a weird view on it to me. Why do you want E2EE on video and voice but not text?
I agree E2EE is hard, maybe too hard, to be mainstream, and certainly not Matrix as it stands, but that wasn't really what I was curious about.
@lina Not sure why you wouldn't want E2EE by default for text? Maybe in a 'public forum' context it doesn't make sense, but I wouldn't call many/most Discord rooms that, exactly. If anything video and audio are less information dense and more expensive/difficult to analyse, ergo less valuable and less in need of E2EE. Not to mention they are large, ephemeral, and expensive to store, so less likely to be stored for analysis in the first place.
I for one don't really want advertisers and LLMs and LEOs crawling all my private chats.
It's definitely not a Discord replacement, and has a lot of warts, though, I agree with you there.
