I like the idea of matrix, but too much is unencrypted in element ( Profile pictures, reactions, nicknames) and no PFS in element is a bit of a dealbreaker. I know that the protocol supports PFS, so there has to be a client for it. Any clients that help with most of what I would like?

    What’s PFS? And I thought Element supported every Matrix feature, except for multi-account support.

      Perfect forward secrecy, meaning rekeying of session encryption keys using a protocol which doesn’t allow those keys to be recovered after the fact.

      Afaik, element doesn’t support stories which fluffy does and element call and sliding sync are only supported by element-x.

    what exactly do you want from PFS that element doesnt do? the keys are rotated every so often and when a new session is logged into, so that new session cant read past messages unless it gets keys from other sessions
