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.
Why?
What benefit does this have over Signal/Matrix?
The article just says “improvements”.
from what i can tell, mls supports much larger group chats (50k users) whereas i assume signal would struggle.
my chat of 10 people i signal seems just as secure, if i am reading right.
why? because it would be cool if only intended recipients are able to view sent messages.
That’s not really going to be the case if you’re using a website instead of an audited app like signal/matrix.
that argument doesn’t hold. you’re letting perfect be the enemy of good-and if you truly believe that, then you wouldn’t be recommending Matrix which has web clients, see https://app.element.io/
Any we client including Matrix webclient is incredibly vulnerable to the server just injecting JS and reading your messages.
Like there is no point of E2E encryption in Twitter, Musk can read your messages if you open them on any device he can execute arbitrary code on.
