So, I see Amethyst *does* support it. You need to click that little incognito icon that is crossed out on the left of the text box in your picture.

I really wish it was by default and that more clients supported it. Hopefully it will be more widely adopted over time.

I still think it's a problem that by default conversations are visible. It's common sense.

I agree

From what I've read (and I'm not a developer so I probably understand half of it, lol), the way the protocol is built makes it so metadata like that is always going to be in the open, and I guess there are ways to hide it like that, through layers, but I imagine it's always going to be a problem.

Honestly I think it would be a better solution -I read a suggestion somewhere- if they just eliminate direct messaging from the platform and people use some other E2EE messaging service.

Yea, sounds like that might be a better idea unless they enforce by default on the protocol layer. In the meanwhile, something like SimpleX is better for DMs
