   @cuchaz How do you distribute public keys to other servers? I wrote a Fediverse Enhancement Proposal that attempts to standardize this: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-c390.md. There are several use cases (beyond E2EE) where this is needed, so having a standard mechanism for distributing keys is important. I'd appreciate your feedback.

   Also, burger ID looks very interesting! Finally, a key manager extension that is not tied to any cryptocurrency.

     Elephant help me, I'm actually releasing this thing! :toot: Folks, I present to you:

     ✨ End-to-end Encryption for Mastodon DMs ✨

     #E2EE #Mastodon

     https://codeberg.org/cuchazinteractive/Mastodon/src/branch/e2ee-4.0.2-dev/doc/e2ee

     It's far from perfect (Far), but it's a start. I have no idea how people release mods for Mastodon because I've never seen one before. Forks, sure, but not mods. So I made something up. You can read all about it at the link above.

     For now, I'm supporting Mastodon v4.0.2 and the Firefox browser. There's a browser extension in there, so browser support is tricky. It's a whole thing. I'm starting simple at first. Walk before you can run and all that, right?

     Anyway, try it out. If you want. Or not, no judgement. But if you do, tell me how it went, will ya? I'm curious.

     Maybe try it on a testing instance first though. I should probably set one of those up actually.

     And If you try it out and run into trouble, send toots! :blobcatboophappy: I'll help out.
