@matrix I know you worked on encryption and key exchange in the latest iterations, but you made it worse.

That is freaking not usable. A new contact added by ID in 1to1 chat, "Never send encrypted messages to unverified sessions.." not activated. Just a brand new contact.

Not working at all. Trying to get users to #Matrix like that won't work.

It's not only old-style looking, heavy and non-intuitive, it's just not working at all.

(matrix(dot)org homeserver btw!)

We're sorry to see that, and appreciate you reaching out! We agree the user experience around E2EE needs to be improved and presents a barrier to adoption.

It is our understanding that the client and server developers recognize the issue and are working on it.

as written below, E2E encryption works in a room with the two participants, yet not in a 1:1 chat. Selecting "room" resolves the issue. Yet that's not a thing to make a first user understand or making her/him trying per se.
