How and why do you use Keybase?
I don't want an official feature list, I want to know, what you specifically use it for.
I already feel like I have way too many messaging apps set up. I know that Keybase has a lot more features than just chat, but I want to know, how many of those features are gimmicky and which are actually useful.
I hate the language that myself and many other people use, it feels so simplistic and dumbed-down compared to what it should sound like
I wish we could stop speaking like literal cavemen but all languages that I know of seem to be unsalvagable at this point
I'm willing to start using Old English or something archaic like this if only it could improve what I refer to as the "flowerness" of our daily speech
And some Guides, as there's much to learn, enjoy here. I love the LifeHacker guide mentioned below, it is wonderful - reread it not long ago, highly recommend it.
Mastodon is not all that this new space has to offer -- it's only one of the platforms here.
There are others, and it's quite an interesting place. Read the manuals, find your route, enjoy diff places - like when we travel, our instances here are like the local Cafés I so enjoy visiting abroad.
New to Mastodon, here's LifeHacker guide

#introductions What does it even mean to be "you"? Introductions usually include things like hobbies, job/field of study, media that you consume, but does that define me as a person? I had a lot of luck in my life, so my level of conscientiousness only gets me so far. I'm also lucky to be interested in computer science and growing up in a country that helped me get the education I crave, with little dependence on my parents liking my choices. I dunno what else to write, I always have a hard time introducing myself as you can see😅
How would you really define yourself? Political ideas, hobbies, your job, what you consume, not consume and so on only get you so far. Do they even define you as a person? What does it even mean to be you?
My personal quest:
“To leave the world a bit better [...]; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
These things don't define me, but my brain seems to enjoy putting time into them:
- Programming (Python, BASH, Clojure)
- Bouldering, Yoga, Cycling
- Reading (All kinds of genre, fiction and non-fiction)
- Philosophy, Design
- Producing the perfect productive workflow on Linux
