@J12t @evan

locked/non-public posts are only viewable by people who are following me, and I can set my account so that new followers have to be approved by me first, right?

end-to-end encryption for this use case (1-to-n-approved-followers) does close an important gap where users currently have to trust server operators

or is this discussion about 1-1 private messages?

@jokeyrhyme @J12t@social.coop private message, 1 to 1 or group

@evan @J12t ah, okay

1-1 private messages (with end-to-end encryption) seems like it would be good for folks expecting a Twitter experience

I can see this being a valuable feature in a social media app, but I'm a little ambivalent about 1-1 features fitting/belonging in the Activity Pub specification

Could social media apps not cohesively implement both Activity Pub for the 1:n features and some other protocol (Signal, Whisper, etc) for the 1:1 features?

@jokeyrhyme @J12t@social.coop thanks! I've been working on this issue for a couple of months now.
