Hi Yosem, Diaspora* developers decided to NOT use PGP encryption, mainly because Diaspora* users would NOT usually own the server they are running on. Of course, people can not be advised to put their private keys on servers that are not under their control [1]. But what if lots of people start running Diaspora* on their own little FreedomBoxes? How hard would it be to provide full PGP encryption for these users? My own "FreedomPod" should be able to talk PGP to other "FreedomPods" for which I got public keys. When talking to any other Diaspora* instance, the default encryption would be used. (Which could be phased out by the time everybody is running a FreedomBox. Partly kidding.)
