    Is anyone still using Keybase? I went through a Keybase period, then Signal and Telegram came around. It'd be nice if one secure messaging platform could work for everyone I know, but I know that having a monoculture wouldn't be the most secure way to go.

    I gave it a try, but mostly to have a place I can manage my files and
    MD derived knowledge base easier, but I quickly found that Keybase's unique security features built on top of block chain ain't that cool
    USP to me comparing to some more convient solutions on all fronts to
    have file sharing, communication and git management under one hood.

    I like the idea, but keybase is way too premature for my taste to give
    it a serious try.

    I liked keybase however when development stopped after it was bought by Zoom I realized that any secure platform under the control of one organization never ends well.

    Currently, my preferred secure messaging platform is xmpp w/ OMEMO encryption.
