Wow - for a sales pitch fantastic. Many of these security issues leave you little to actually do. This write up provides an alternative.

What’s super bad here is slack misleading about the cause wasting all the users time.

Quick question, anyone use key base - can u give a quick review? Team currently use slack

I have used it in conjunction with Slack; a channel for infrastructure team members to share sensitive details, or to direct message secrets to people. It works well for that light usage.

I cannot imagine replacing Slack with it for all company or team communication though. It's not remotely polished enough.

I use Keybase. I like it, the thing to keep in mind though is 99.9% of the time the biggest threat vector to your company is going to be preventing your employees from sexually harassing each other, not preventing the Russians or whoever from reading your internal messages.

Yes, but:

1. We always have to combine the likelihood and incidence rate of threats with the magnitude of damage. I do not personally subscribe to this thinking, but some bloodless financial types will suggest that you can compensate harassment victims, but a major security incident could cost you the entire company.

2. Insert animated gif of a little girl asking, "Why not both?" Companies can and must address threats like sexual harassment AND exfiltration of sensitive data.

Keybase has a Teams feature so it's built more towards your use-case. I use it to trade Stellar (XLM), file storage/management, and sharing/proving all of my platform identities. I haven't had a chance to get too social on it yet so I can't comment on the chatting experience, but overall it's a neat platform. It also has a command-line interface.

I’ve been running my 100% remote team on it the last few months, it works very well for us. Never been a fan of Slack, and never use any bots, so just comms.

I use keybase and promote it around the office, but I've had trouble getting people to join me. Maybe if it had an edgy dark mode...
