I've never seen or hear anyone I know use Keybase.io for actual texting, and I work at a large software company. Everyone just uses it for PGP keys, then forgets it exists.



I was one of the early adopters (July 2014) and I used it for texting for a time.

When they started pushing cryptocurrency I felt it was time to leave, a short time after Zoom bought them out and I was glad that my account was already purged.


For PGP keys, I've managed to replace my usage of Keybase with Keyoxide.

I do and know several people who do too. Although the UI could be improved.
