Thanks @ebkalderon for sharing your experiences with @keyoxide - as I just mentioned I was remembering #keybase today!
Apparently #Keybase still exists! I remember thinking what a great idea it was back in the day.
Nutzt jemand #keybase ?
Is #keybase still a thing?
Breaking! Well, not really, I'm a day late. #Keytrace launched publicly! Keytrace is the alternative to #Keybase for verying your accounts. One could say it's like #Keyoxide too but lives in the ATmosphere network.

Is anyone still using #Keybase? Just noticed I had still set up a DNS record for it...

I registered for #KeyBase then I thought,,,, certainly there must be some #FOSS etc version, right?

Yes, there is @Keyoxide – but that last time that acct tooted was 2024 and the last time the official blog was updated was 2023!

Is it a dead project? 🤔

Plus, the Getting Started page is intimidating AF for a non-geeky person lime me! https://docs.keyoxide.org/getting-started/creating-profile/

Is there a better FOSS-y KeyBase alternative?

Thx

@kaosk @killyourfm I do not know, but it somehow reminds me of #Keybase, which had one of my close circles convinced and we had to deal with difficult-to-use clients that were an overkill for merely sharing text messages, a few pictures here and there.
What's the current deal with #Keybase? Was the first post-zoom-aquisition update just published? And why does that make me scared?
