The keybase identity model combines the worst of the 90s geek internet with the worst of the 2010s social media.

Instead of private and distributed trust, we got public and centralized. No thank you.

I don't know much about crypto, but this argument seems extremely compelling to me. Why would I want my network of trust to be public or centralized? Can someone more knowledgeable comment on whether parent is making sense?

EDIT: In fact look, from their /docs/server_security they have this:

> Here are the attacks we are most concerned about:

> Server DDOS'ed

> Server compromised; attacker corrupts server-side code and keys to send bad data to clients

> Server compromised; attacker distributes corrupted client-side code

Why would I want my GPG security to depend on whether some company got hacked or not? This seems like a terrible idea.
