Why does Matrix give servers the option to prevent disabling read receipts and why does the official matrix server do it? (lemmychan.org)

Read receipts aren't end to end encrypted.

Reactions aren't either.

You should be able to disable it clientside.

Basically the only thing actually encrypted in matrix e2e are the message contents itself. All other possible types of associated metadata, aren't.
