Zoom’s acquisition of Keybase could only mean bad things for Keybase. It means Keybase loses internal developer attention (since Zoom ostensibly bought it for the tech talent) and/or Zoom plans to somehow boost its own services through existing KB users (privacy loss, but also unlikely given the relatively small userbase). KB did also have some attraction because of its Stellar integration, but Stellar has not been managed well enough to attract enough developer attention (a different topic). It’s too bad Wire became so corporate. KB and Wire were arguably the most secure messenger systems, and now we’re stuck with Signal.
