Stop Using Encrypted Email
Sort of just generally, to word this post more simply: whenever the point is made that encrypted email is cryptographically inferior to secure messengers, people respond with a litany of ergonomic reasons why secure messengers aren't viable: they don't have the right platform support, nobody wants to type on their phones, people want decentralized platforms, nobody wants to install new software, and on and on.<p>The problem with these arguments is that they have nothing to do with security. There's simply no case that can be made that encrypted email is as secure as a modern secure messenger. People tolerate shoddy encryption in email because ergonomics are more important to them than security.<p>The problem here is that there are real people who depend on the security of their messages who would be taking unreasonable risks in trying to get an encrypted email workflow going. Rather than telling these people to read a GPG tutorial or install Enigmail or whatever, we should be telling them either to use a secure messenger, or not to put themselves at risk at all.
