@seven @Fairphone @seven @protonmail @FediFollows @1ll173r47 If I give them my pubkey & ask for theirs, & they are willing and able to comply, then they are proficient enough to be considered an expert user in this context (which is not the case i'm really talking about). If they can't handle that, they are a novice. Sometimes I have still gotten away with that arrangement but only under circumstances where I personally install GPG for them.
