Re: Mastodon and Keybase
#52I recommend people check out
gab instead of twitter
and diaspora instead of google plus
Yet its been proven again and again and again that once the diversity circle takes effect the LEFT as a whole refuses to support diversity of viewpoint and will censor non left people on all platforms left admins exist on
Even Diaspora has a massive infection of SJW , Diversity and "woke" people that are pro censorship

You'd rather opt in to global passive surveillance than deal with an inconvenient UX?

Re: Mastodon and Keybase
#54I wonder if the Mastodon community will pick up Keybase chat as the de facto chat option with this integration in place. Chat or private messaging has always been considered the weak link of the fediverse since it's easy for bad servers to mishandle "private" toots.
How is Keybase chat federated? Using a centralized service defeats the purpose of a decentralized Fediverse.
It's not, but decentralization isn't super effective for private channels of communication, particularly where neither end is running the software in question. (Most Mastodon users aren't site admins.)
But presumably if proving a Keybase user and a Mastodon user are the same is given, when a Mastodon user wants to contact another outside of Mastodon, Keybase Chat may be the new default choice.

I wish that Keybase could work with the Signal team on something. Signal has a lot of experience in UI [1] and security, and Keybase had the identity proofs. I'd love to see them work together rather than compete. [1] Signal UI used to be horrible but as of the past few months it's improved a ton! It's now my preferred SMS client.
I would much rather have more competitors than fewer monolithic systems in this space, to be honest.

#56Just wanted to say that i moved from twitter to mastodon sometime late last year amd couldn't be happier with it. Keybase integration is interesting to me, but not realky useful since i don't want to tie mastodon with my real life identity. the Fediverse as a whole has a very different 'feel' to it compared to Twitter. Twitter feels significantly more commercialized amd stressful...mastodon / pleroma feel a lot more…
It would be cool to see everyone's Mastodon usernames/domains, I'm on my own self hosted instance where it's a bit more difficult to find other people. Mine is: https://toot.jeena.net/@jeena
What has your experience been with self-hosting?
I'd love to self-host a Mastodon instance that two-way mirrors my Twitter account and acts as a Twitter client (letting me pseudo-follow folks from Twitter). But in any case, I'd want to ensure that no content from people I follow gets mirrored/hosted on my own instance; the only content actually hosted on my own instance should be the content I post.

It's not inconvenient, it's broken. The issue I described above is not the only misbehavior to which I'm frequently subjected. Another example: messages are delayed, often.
Recently I failed to reply to an urgent text about a medical diagnosis from my fiance due to Signal failing to push the message to my phone. This is unacceptable behavior from a critical application.
Do I get on a soapbox about how surveillance is terrible and miss being there for her by insisting on using Signal? No! I want her to be able to get in contact with me if there's an emergency, and that's the #1 priority.

What do you mean? No content other than what your users generate will be hosted on your instance.

> On my HN profile itself you can find my signatures on Keybase. … or your HN account could just link straight to your Twitter account. I don't get what Keybase adds here.
If everything links to everything, that's an n^2 problem (and hard to coordinate actors to do). If everything just links to one service, that's n or 2n at most. Also, I can write the name of any twitter account in my HN profile. I can only link _my_ twitter account to a keybase account I own.
Right, but if your Twitter account links to your HN account then you've proven ownership both ways. If you don't want the n^2 problem then just have a list of all your accounts on one site and link there. Say, for example, your Mastadon account.
