Whenever they write the Wikipedia article about E2EE, I just want a footnote in there...

#Mastodon was the artillery, the big guns that made the difference. #Bonfire and #Emissary were the special forces recon teams that made it possible.

In the announcement Mastodon team credits SWF for work on E2EE, not the people doing actual research. That's part of the deal.

@silverpill @benpate it really seems nothing has changed after the recent reorganization.

@silverpill SWF built the original spec that we're building to. They did a TON of research and groundwork ahead of time. 

I'll just have to graffiti Wikipedia myself.
