Important progress has been made regarding bringing MLS end-to-end encryption to the ActivityPub protocol, with developers already building implementations and providing feedback to a future version of the protocol spec.

this is misleading and sensationalistic. if emissary implements e2ee, it’s not “e2ee for the fediverse”, it’s " e2ee for emissary users". did mastodon talk about e2ee? did lemmy?
also the MLS-in-activitypub draft proposes for trusted key exchange either " trust the server" (lmao), use a centralized key authority (wow) or have users manually verify their keys out of band (so basically use matrix to assure your chat is encrypted). source: https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-e2ee/architectural-variations.html#validating-end-to-end-encryption
fedi devs need to stop clickbaiting, and fedi users should learn a bit more about their protocol to avoid getting misled this way
I felt like a 90 year old grandma reading this.
You and me both. But after pondering the orbs for a minute I they’re saying, that it’s just Emissary trying to get E2EE working and not Fediverse as a whole.
Fediverse and Linux have to be the most unholy tech union in existence.
