I know of | https://keys.pub/ and https://keyoxide.org/ but the former (from | someone ex-keybase) has no recent activity and a "not audited" | warning, which at least is good to see. | udia wrote: | Observing network errors when attempting to send messages within | Keybase. | proactivesvcs wrote: | For the identity verification part of Keybase - but decentralised | - Keyoxide may be of interest: https://keyoxide.org/ | ccooffee wrote: | I found the "What is Keyoxide?" page a useful explanation that | was missing from the homepage: | https://docs.keyoxide.org/getting-started/what-is-keyoxide/ | | I never found the identity/distributed-account thing on keybase | useful, as I explicitly DO NOT want my accounts linked, but if | that's your thing, definitely worth checking out. | pram wrote: | Pretty sure Keybase is abandonware since Zoom bought them. | Klathmon wrote: | Yeah looking at the commit graph for the keybase client shows a | pretty obvious acquisition date.. | | https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/contributors | ezekg wrote: | That really sucks to see. I liked Keybase a lot but have | since abandoned it myself too. Shame. | pm90 wrote: | Its a shame since I genuinely loved Keybase. I've just not felt | the same way about another messaging app. Signal appears to be | the safest but since WhatsApp is e2e encrypted and most of my | social network is there already I'm stuck with it. | ognarb wrote: | Matrix is also a nice choice. E2ee and decentralized. | xvector wrote: | But with poorly audited clients and metadata retention | issues compared to Signal | molszanski wrote: | Check out telegram. It surprisingly awesome in so many ways. | Ultrafast native client on all platforms, very user friendly, | time tested, stable, fully packed with features etc. | Shank wrote: | I love Telegram, but I want to state it clearly: the | default chat scheme isn't end-to-end encrypted, which | Keybase is. Therefore, it's not a drop-in replacement. | chockchocschoir wrote: | And also the more obvious difference: Telegram requires a | telephone number, Keybase did not. | sirmike_ wrote: | https://wire.com/en/ is what i have used for years. YMMV. | GeckoEidechse wrote: | Yeah I switched away from Wire again due to constant | notification issues (yes battery saving options are | disabled on Android). My session has since timed out and | trying to log back in on either mobile or desktop just | causes the app to crash. | | Also there's no Matrix bridge for Wire compared to Signal. | | The multi-account support was nice and is something I'd | really love to see in Matrix. | RL_Quine wrote: | I can't get these annoying people to stop sending me spam | email, despite having unsubscribed probably 20 times at | least. If they can't be trusted to not flood out email | inboxes, they can't be trusted with anything else. | panick21_ wrote: | I love the encrypted git and the file system. | [deleted] | pxeger1 wrote: | Reasonable guess. Zoom openly admitted they were basically just | poaching the team, so it would make sense if they stopped | working on Keybase. | | If it's really abandoned, it's somewhat surprising it's kept | working this long. | SXX wrote: | It's just sad they couldn't just sell the service itself. | After all someone might acquire and maintain it. | [deleted] | mfer wrote: | Time to move to Matrix? There is e2e messaging there. | throwra620 wrote: | atonse wrote: | Really sad to see Keybase atrophy even though I'm happy for the | team that got acquired. | | I wish they'd just open source the whole thing or donate it to | the apache foundation or something. | StreamBright wrote: | It seems they fixed it. | [deleted] | floren wrote: | It's only a matter of time for Keybase.

I | remember talking to colleagues back in the day saying basically | "I love Keybase, but I'm kind of nervous if they don't have a | plan to make money". Sure enough: acquihire. | Rebelgecko wrote: | Looks like a new cert was issued today.
