Yes. We don't have much in personal actions to do in the game that is 
kinda up against us, i.e. metadata revealing both ends, and a whisper. 
The whisper is that SMTP email is something the World would never move from.
Except, look at all those people, not really using email for most of 
their personal activities.
Orgs push people to use email. Except, again, look at all those orgs all 
of a sudden adopting Signal, which is not an SMTP email.

We have been acutely aware that normal people ain't gonna switch if 
protocol is just secure. It ain't enough. But, when stuff is better on 
your device, better experience, if developer of your user experience 
tells you to use 3NWeb, where he/she doesn't have to give Apple/Google 
tax, if your experience is not censored by big tech, and all of this 
happens to also be secure, then we have chance to see the world slowly 
migrating to a digital place that affords everyone more dignity.
