    Key management is hard

    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?
