Signal needs quite a bit of work to be as useful as email.
No choice in clients, requiring a cell number, no search, and no threads.
Hard to imagine someone that uses email heavily with large volume of email trying to cram that much information into signal and then be able to find it again years later.
- tptacek 9y agoThe vast, overwhelming majority of email users --- who also encompass the vast, overwhelming majority of users with serious privacy needs, contrary to the opinion of "privacy nerds" --- use whichever email client they were first introduced to, never change clients, and don't use any of the advanced features in those clients. Those are the users who are better served by Signal than by some janky attempt to make email almost perhaps under the best circumstances 60% as secure as Signal.
