E2EE in matrix is, at best, not very reliable. Most of the time I'm making DMs with people I don't need E2EE for security and would like to avoid the headache.
Describe the solution you'd like
A toggle in the UI when creating direct rooms to enable or disable E2EE. It should default to enabled.
Alternatives considered
Currently, I usually do one of the following
make client-server API calls by hand with curl to create an unencrypted room and invite the other user
make a non-direct unencrypted room in cinny, then /converttodm
make an encrypted DM
Option 1 is kinda high-effort (you have to fetch the access token from the browser console and then construct the right requests). I could probably make this a lot easier by writing a script and keeping a persistent token for CLI.
Option 2 doesn't set is_direct in the m.room.member events, so the other user's client will usually not mark it as a direct room.
Option 3 is just giving up. I usually regret this, when we start getting UTD or I decide I want to search old messages.
