   @pettter In the case of e2e-credentials stored on computers with other admins than me, I am less concerned with admins reading my communication and more concerned with stray backups, stolen machines etc. which someone else finds lying around and can thus impersonate me with digital perfection.

     @micahflee Too bad it's impossible to e2e-encrypt on the web without plugins to the web browser. And if you have to install plugins, why not just install some proper software like an !XMPP client? .)

     @auerbach All you should have to trust the instance with is your identity. Given federation, you will have no control over your data. Post only things that are public, discuss only things that are socially constructive and move your private business to either a medium designed for privacy (XMPP) or make sure to use pseudonyms on alternate accounts to go about your less public business. Those are my two-fiddy.

     @hishamhm ...extension/plugin/whatever. Needs separate installation anyway and thus no more enticing than desktop software.

     @sten0se I thought people with epilepsy disabled animated gifs for personal security reasons. Don't people fiddle with their settings and configurations anymore?

     No, just the NPAPI stuff. Extensions are what will remain afaik. cc: @hishamhm

     @hisham_hm Not sure I want to use supersecret ultraprivate e2e crypto on a machine I don't even have admin access on... ;)

     @pettter That's the reason I never, ever write a password of my own in a machine at work (and don't even use private SSH keys). I have zero trust in the #Umeå municipality IT department.
