MODERATORS
There are DMs on lemmy and they are not using Matrix. Matrix's security doesn't matter if you are not actually using Matrix
Why would lemmy not have E2EE for person to person messages?
It's quite a lot of work to implement. Maybe one day. Same problem on Mastodon
why bother? if you need actual private messaging, you can just use matrix
Privacy is improved when it is there by default
Yes, but when you click the DM button on lemmy.world there's a big red warning telling you to use matrix (element.io) instead.
