OP demonstrates how your Keybase network can offer E2E messaging on Mastadon, bootstrapped via Keybase.

I see Keybase as a secure address book, on top which secure applications can be built.

Matrix should have improved XMPP rather than added yet more fragmentation.
Amen.

If anyone wants to be on XMPP with minimal fuss, try https://quicksy.im/ . This is an XMPP client, with registration based on your phone number.

+1. I recall thinking it was a text editor with inferior key bindings to vim, and with a bunch of unnecessary weirdness.

I'm glad I took the time to investigate this discoverable interactive programmatic keyboard-oriented UI platform, that also happens to have a great editor (evil).

A uniquely empowering tool for programmers.
