I am aware. For one it still works just as well is it ever has, the Zoom acquisition didn't change anything there. So if you care about features, there shouldn't be any problem. For sure it seems to be in maintenance mode, but nothing they were doing of late with Lumens was that exciting anyway (trying to become a crypto wallet like everyone and their mothers).
I would pay $/mo for a Keybase reboot with the goal of building a sustainable business like Signal did instead of taking VC money for a shot at the moon. Until someone does that, Keybase continues to work as a messaging app with usernames instead of phone numbers.
Yeah I'd rather use Keybase which has username / password than the disaster that Signal is right now. Especially when you have both Twitter and Twilio breaches, SS7 attacks, SIM swapping attacks, etc.
Keybase still works and for a simple messaging app does the job better than Signal or any other messaging app that requires a phone number. This is a total disaster.

Just like Signal did, with their own private crypto wallet and cryptocurrency that they have been working suspiciously in the background for a year after being questioned.
Why doesn't anyone ever consider XMPP using one of the many clients like gajim, conversations, etc.? It's got all of the encryption features anyone would want but has zero mentions as a secure messaging option.
