Keybase is fairly small, easily audited, and does few things well. Matrix is enormous, poorly audited (and difficult to audit due to the insane overcomplexity), has only a few clients with very bad UX (and unlikely to get a lot more clients due to the overcomplexity), etc. Matrix has its place but it's not a reasonable Keybase alternative.
- Arathorn 5y agoThis is not true. We just got a new independent audit of Matrix’s e2ee (due to be released in a few weeks), and has a tonne of clients with new ones popping up every week. They all have different UX, but some are very simple - both in terms of auditable code, and in terms of UX. Not all the clients are a drop in replacement for keybase, but some of them certainly are on the right track.
