Keybase.pub Shutting Down on March 1 2023
The only one I've seen that comes close is https://keys.pub/ but it still misses a lot of what keybase gives (sigchains, etc.)
Previous HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22995792
Are there any others to consider? It's been quite sad to see Keybase so stifled after being acquired. :-(

Status of Keybase
Do you think it's worth checking alternatives like https://keys.pub/ or https://keyoxide.org/?

Ask HN: Viable alternatives to Keybase for linking identities across services?
One of the best features from Keybase (personally), is the ability to link identities across multiple different web entities, being able to prove "diggan" on Hacker News is indeed the same as "victorb" on GitHub, for example.
Seemingly, we're getting closer and closer to Keybase shutting down, considering the non-activity since the Zoom acquisition.
Previous threads have mentions of services like https://keys.pub/ and alike, but AFAICT, it doesn't actually provide "cross-service" proofs like Keybase does, and is mainly about managing key signing and related use cases.
What alternatives are online and viable to use today, for the purpose of "proving" that identities across different web properties are the same?
-
API-0.core.keybaseapi.com has expired certificate
Suppose you only want a replacement for the key management part of keybase, what is there to be recommended? 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.

Keyoxide: A privacy-friendly platform to establish your decentralized identity
There's also https://keys.pub/ (from someone ex-Keybase, if I remember correctly). I haven't looked at either closely. Can anyone compare and contrast?

Keybase.pub Shutting Down on March 1 2023
> development slowed down to a crawl
It's pretty wild that you can see exactly the moment when Zoom bought them on their github activity graph: https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/code-frequency

The moment Zoom took over, contributions to the project effectively collapsed.

Is Keybase still trusted and recommended or should one stop using Keybase after they were acquired by Zoom, which has ties with China?
Active development stopped the day Keybase was acquired: https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/contributors 3700+ open issue tickets, most have no responses by a maintainer: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues
