yes, we are, and just as normal Matrix has PFS by default but can share history in retrospect (obviously breaking PFS) so can MLS. arewemlsyet.com

šŸ¤Ø there may be some underestimation here of how hard a decentralised E2EE msging protocol is. would be good to collaborate rather than duplicate :)

the fun bit of p2p matrix is that it uses normal matrix clients and client server API, which is super rich. and it uses normal server to server API tooā€¦ just over a p2p overlay. wish we could work on it atm.
