PGP habits could be better

What I&#x27;m really seeing here is a person documenting a whole lot of performative stuff they do --- grooming their keys, fastidiously using 4096-bit RSA (whatever breaks 2048 bit RSA is going to end RSA, by the way), signing other people&#x27;s keys, creating lots of separate PGP keys and grooming the metadata on them, publishing a &quot;proper canary&quot; --- or wish they were doing.<p>Which is a big problem with PGP. All the ceremony repels normal users, makes the system far harder to use, but also tightly binds enthusiasts to its subculture, making it that much harder to improve.

PGP is dying a horrific death with the mass electronic and internet user.<p>Since 1992, I’ve been in this game. It will never catch on.

So what does it criticize exactly? PGP, OpenPGP, GPG, or...?

Using-pink-in-moderation habits could be better.
