Sad to say but I am still using Keybase. The only part that keeps me on using Keybase is because I love the KBFS (File Storage), Chat, and the Keybase.pub (Static Hosting HTML and Markdown) sample: https://coffeekitkat.keybase.pub/blog/env-vars-in-vue
The moment of Zoom acquisition, I barely used Keybase and started to research about alternatives, but I haven't found one that can match or have better quality than Keybase if ever I've found something good I might say goodbye to Keybase.
You can still use the platform if you find it really useful specially the Chat feature of it, but always be cautious. I personally have doubts and trust issues towards Zoom.
Keybase is great, but a full alternative is needed.
