(KØMVH) Keybase is dead! Long live Keyoxide!

I just had something remind me of #keybase - does anyone still use that? I remember it being an interesting idea back in the day but seem to recall it got bought or something. Is it still a thing? Haven't used it at all in a long time, and even then just as a novelty.
I spent a few hours today working out how to turn my Stella Lumens into real money, so I have finally cashed in the #free #crypto I got from #Keybase many years ago.
Thanks, Keybase - Here's a free advert:
Hey everyone, use Keybase. It works sometimes (I think?) and once gave out free money. https://keybase.io/
keybase.ioKeybaseKeybase is for keeping everyone's chats and files safe, from families to communities to companies. MacOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android.
@dymaxion for some reason my private replies hang
not sure which activist-(cyber)security culture handbook community you mean ...I have seen security - in - a - box which seems to hit a sweet spot between technical sophistication and accessibility...generally activist space chatter about "security culture" broadly tends to be a lot of hot air but when it comes to tech there isn't much...just, people learn how to use PIN-not-biometrics on their phone and learn how to use #signal and #keybase and leave it at that. A few people use #protonmail but most use terrible browsers, or think #opera is safe, which it isn't.
I don't know what surprises me more. That Keybase is still around, or that someone is using it for spam!
#keybase #keybase_io
Sometimes my work desktop UI freezes hard on unlock and the solution is to SSH in, find the keybase-redirector process (which runs as root and is doing some filesystem jiggery pockery that causes the freeze) and send it a kill signal as an ordinary user (I don't have root on this machine). I find it odd, both that this can happen and that this workaround can work. #Keybase #Linux
Continued thread
Hmm, maybe not so alive? Looks like some links are rotting: https://book.keybase.io/guides/proof-integration-guide
The whole guides/ tree just redirects to the CLI manual. So maybe they're just letting the existing infrastructure run until it rots off?
I hope it's healthier than I thought/think, Keybase is/was a great project.

Wait, keybase.io is still running, and their GitHub repos still have activity? I thought Zoom buried this project when they bought it. Interesting.
Has anyone designed some kind of federated PKI?
I'm envisioning something easy to use like KeyBase, but distributed.
Is #Keybase still a thing?
I got an email from them saying one of my proofs broke.
But… I just don't care. No one uses public-key cryptography or verifies proof of ownership.
Or am I wrong?
Replied to plusiv
@plusiv It does. However, the Mastodon software removed support (deleted the code in their software), so all instances running Mastodon and received that update, started failing #Keybase checks. They removed it after Keybase was sold to #Zoom, which most people hate; even though the Keybase team reiterated that Keybase remains separate from Zoom itself (at least that's the explanation which practically no one believes).
Anyway, no other #Fediverse software added support for Keybase verification other than Mastodon.
