Because it's easier. It gets clients moving faster. And looking at how people use replies as chat, I don't even think encryption is needed for most stuff.

Fair, but a clear way to delineate encrypted vs public chat would be worthwhile. Most people don’t understand the difference, but assume “private” means “encrypted”.

I think we can just show them in notifications and allow people to reply to it there. So, no full chat anywhere.
