I don’t understand why it took us 50 years to figure out how to do encrypted messaging-over-email. Anyone wanna swap email addresses?

who do you KNOW doesn’t suck? myself, i like disroot, but i still prefer to encrypt any comms that go across their services, because i can’t explicitly trust them. i don’t even (really) trust riseup.net. it’s always best to encrypt anything thats sensitive yourself and control the keys.

i think it’s worth pointing out that pgp-protected messages would still be secure in the case of the kolektiva breach, not that anyone is e2ee for mastodon messages.
if you (and your friends) control your (and their) keys, then the actual contents of your communications can’t be compromised. i think email is fine if you understand the limitations.

if you are a deltachat user, it creates a directory for your deltachat messages. if not… you are strongly encouraged to use deltachat :P
can’t you just make a rule
maybe. depends on your client or provider
personally, i don’t trust protonmail, so i haven’t tried it, but i think… it just doesn’t work lol.
What’s the issue with proton? Just the UI being a bit shit?
Proton only uses E2EE for the message body (including attachments). The subject and headers are not end-to-end encrypted.
That’s not entirely unreasonable, since they use that data for the search function on the server side. Nobody’s really cracked the nut of E2EE search, though there’s been some interesting research in the field recently.
The UI has improved a lot since their re-brand, so I doubt that’s it.
Proton should be avoided.

I do agree that’s a fair point about mail.
