Put it in context, is it ever acceptable to have all your activity publicly logged? Keybase isn’t forward secure, so so disclosure of your keys later leads to complete availability of your cleartext.

According to https://keybase.io/blog/chat-apps-softer-than-tofu ephemeral messages are indeed forward secure, but normal messages are not, strictly speaking.

IMhO, Keybase is adequate to protect against spying from ISPs, Ad agencies, journalists, etc but doesn't offer resistance against a formidable foe like a state actor, but then neither does most of the devices on which Signal is run.
