i think it's worth pointing out that pgp-protected messages would still be secure in the case of the kolektiva breach, not that anyone is e2ee for mastodon messages.

if you (and your friends) control your (and their) keys, then the actual contents of your communications can't be compromised. i think email is fine if you understand the limitations.
