> And you know another thing? Email works great to me, and it's decentralized. I have my email server, with my domain, so I don't depend on anyone to provide me a service. I have full control of my data that is on my server. I can even send encrypted emails with GnuPG without any problem

OK, and how many non-technical people do you email that have GPG keys? If they don't have GPG, how do you have end to end encrypted communications with them?

This is where Signal won and GPG lost, with the Signal protocol integration into WhatsApp, one billion people instantly got secure comms without even having to know what a key is.

> it's as secure as Signal, if not better.

Signal uses a new key for every single message you send, so it could be argued that actually Signal is better than GPG.
