@adamshostack now you will be lectured about how it’s completely fine, and any mishaps are the users’ fault.

pretty sure "blame the user" is the first, last, and only resort of those who can't be bothered to talk to users or worry about UI/UX design.
if they are getting paid for it, they might alternate "blame the user" with "works fine on my machine".

@adamshostack @mattblaze A quick search shows at least one project attempting to extend Activity Pub and offer MLS protected messages. But the link is for a project description, not the actual code. I have no idea how far along they are developing this.

@huitema @mattblaze That doesn't actually solve the problem, which is that I was responding to a private message, and ... something in the UI made my post a public one. I discovered that when someone not mentioned fave'd it.
I assume the same UI would have &*() me either way.

@huitema @mattblaze In precisely the same way that its UI decided that me banging on the keyboard for swear characters was a superscript!

yeah... private mention definitely violates the principle of least astonishment really hard.
