E2E chat is an interesting topic. Say I'm using XMPP, my own server, talking to a federated one, all over TLS, including S2S.

E2E on top of that, in my personal opinion, is a massive overkill for most cases and people.

It is, however, different, when it comes to a server that I don't control in any form. In that scenario, it is rather useful, but I'm still a lot more worried about the unencrypted meta surrounding it. See email and PGP in this topic, which has always been a pain point for many.

Thoughts?
