@dtluna Perhaps. This does look like some kind of official integration. It's regrettable that as a community we don't learn the bitter lessons from web 2.0.

It's not really clear from their site, but I assume that Keybase is a company, presumably in the usual location. Is it run by anyone we can trust? I'll just float that one out there as a concept.

Also a cursory glance at their terms reveals things like:

"including but not limited to the Registration Data and any other personal identification information that you provide, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable (in whole or in part), fully-paid and *sublicensable* right, subject to the Privacy Policy, to use, reproduce, modify, transmit, display and distribute Your Content in *any media known now or developed in the future*, in connection with our provision of the Service"

Is this what the fediverse wants? Really?
