This reminds me of how Pavel Durov every once in a while posts a story of some recent WhatsApp/Signal/whatever fuck up, which ends up with a Cato-style reminder of the fact we should switch to Telegram. Except, he is comparing apples to apples, does this in kinda tongue-in-cheek manner and is understandably endorsing his own product. None of which can be said about the OP. So, unless you can name a better PGP+email replacement, all of it has quite little value, and, no, Signal is not an email replacement, and, yes, we still need email, so, sorry, cannot switch. P.S. Does Signal still require a phone number?
