Can anybody explain use cases for Keybase? Why would I choose it over, say, Telegram group chats? What are some good use cases for public files?

Telegram group chats are NOT end to end encrypted. Telegram has an option for e2ee chats but they won’t sync across devices, last I checked, ans nobody uses them.

Keybase has an amazing, user friendly e2ee story.

My use-case is E2E encrypted (team) chat coupled with identity verification. In some projects having assurances that you're talking to who you think you're talking to can be a big deal.

Delivering software is a great usecase for public files. I have my apps on Github or whatever but the artifacts go into my public Keybase directory.

It's good if you want to share secrets (files or msgs)
