@dangillmor @stubbornella Yeah, that's my take. Most people (at least, in the pool of people that you would say this too) will understand what you mean if you say "This message is encrypted".
Determining whether something is securely encrypted, and how to securely encrypt something, that's the hard bits.
@stubbornella @dangillmor Twitter DMs are not encrypted - just to be clear. Hopefully no sources are assuming that?
@dangillmor "Based on current evidence, then, Musk has won this battle: except for a few individuals, Big Journalism has acceded to his edicts."
I feel like this sums up the difference nicely: While I'm not sure Elon "won", Mastodon is about individuals. It's a key difference.
@markaleney Also, read & understand your servers code of conduct - it's not legal cover, like on Twitter, it's actually what your admin wants to see..
IcarositySee this @Gargron ? People are telling me they see the Mastodon logo on my cat Bridget. #catsofmastodon

If you let people opt in, you'll have selection bias skewing the results. Also, if there are problems with the reporting mechanism, that could skew the result. Hard to control properly.
Good user testing is hard, and even that, mostly, is not really rigorous science or anything, just a more informed opinion.
@lynncunliffe Thank you for the reminder - I picked up a lot of bad habits at the other place!
@craigm @ct_bergstrom "How We Teach Science" by John Rudolph, was a good read for this layperson. Largely covers the history ("The Scientific Method" was neither developed nor promulgated by scientists, development of national standards, etc).
@mycathardy A thick layer of marble chips works for me. But I'm gardening in pots on a balcony. It might work in a meadow, but then you'd have piles of rocks scattered throughout the meadow. Which may or may not be acceptable to you ;)
