I agree lets the Internet freedom and freedom of speech, although I think that different protocols should be used, and in some cases it does not need to be encrypted because the data is public for everyone. Private messages should be encrypted, though. Instead of a web forum or mailing list, consider NNTP. Instead of Discord or Matrix, consider IRC. For some kind of interactive games, consider Telnet/SSH.

Very good point! In fact, the public channels won't be encrypted. Only the private ones, but in a hybrid implementation of server-side fan out and end-to-end encryption. The reason to do this is scalability. With this hybrid approach, we can make encryption work even for channels with a lot of members. It wouldn't be possible to make it work with end-to-end only. What do you think about this? Thank you for the suggestions! We'll definitely look into it :)
