I like the idea of matrix, but too much is unencrypted in element ( Profile pictures, reactions, nicknames) and no PFS in element is a bit of a dealbreaker. I know that the protocol supports PFS, so there has to be a client for it. Any clients that help with most of what I would like?

what exactly do you want from PFS that element doesnt do? the keys are rotated every so often and when a new session is logged into, so that new session cant read past messages unless it gets keys from other sessions

What’s PFS? And I thought Element supported every Matrix feature, except for multi-account support.

Perfect forward secrecy, meaning rekeying of session encryption keys using a protocol which doesn’t allow those keys to be recovered after the fact.
