Oddbean new post about login | logout May we not normalize the idea that normal people don't want to be self sovereign. nostr:nevent1qqs2tp3we96w422c8cznnmu5z5ruq03vl4y5ynzwwhwndt5p3h888jqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyz7eadjhcfd57mx6dzr3ecnzt8gln0rzggzg0cezfyzmva98zzj95qcyqqqqqqga4qzc3
The vast majority of normies actions and behavior don't portray this unfortunately.
Aren't the vast majority of normies using an end to end encrypted messaging app for their day to day communications?
Do they know it is end to end encrypted? If they did, apps like telegram which isn't end to end encrypted won't be popular. Most would just use what is popular and don't really care about e2ee. It all boils down to what is convenient for them. It is what it is.
Do they know that telegram is not end to end encrypted? Normies may use these apps because they are popular and sadly they assume that these apps are popular because they are safe and private without the ability to verify this for themselves. On a separate note: what do you gain once the idea that normies don't want to be self sovereign is normalized? https://m.primal.net/KiZn.jpg
I get we are currently focused on secure communication but from the original post if we to include the need for Bitcoin, from my own experience, most just don't get it. And those who do get why it is important aren't ready or willing to take ownership. Which drives the point of the OP. I don't gain anything by this being normalized. It is what I've observed in my endeavor to wake people I care about up. It is possible they may eventually get it when the need arise but there is no point trying to force it.
