Actually, on second thought, maybe the automated in-webpage decryption via the plugin thing I stuck at the end is a bad idea if it just inserts the decrypted stuff right into the page (not sure if this is the case). Like, I bet that a malicious or compromised instance could serve up Javascript in the webpage it provides to read and send the decrypted content from the web page.

But not a problem for the approach in general, just decrypting-in-place in a webpage. Would benefit from client support in general, though.

EDIT: Also would be nice to have user profile bios have enough space to actually fit a PGP public key, if that is to be used to distribute PGP public keys (rather than keyservers or something, though one issue with using Lemmy instances to distribute them is that a compromised instance could list bogus pubkeys for users who haven't yet obtained a local copy of the pubkey for a given user). Presently, it looks like the character limit is extremely short on lemmy.today, which is presumably using the Lemmy default; 300 characters. I'd think that it could at least be boosted to the comment length limit of 10,000 characters.
