    Isn’t that what we’ve already been using gpg for? More communication sites should implement it

      Is it a user problem or platform problem that more services don’t implement some sort of OpenPGP solution? I mean to say, I absolutely agree this is a good idea, but is the obstacle the users or the services? I can see people getting really confused and not knowing to treat their private keys properly, etc. So are services afraid it’ll drive users away or are services afraid of it for some other reason?

        I feel like it’s kind of a mix of both. It’s definitely a hassle to use and check as a user, but I think part of the reason it is is because sites just treat it as an extra thing rather than integrate it into their service
