Description

Feature Suggestion: Federated Social Network

Just started tinkering with Mastodon. I love the idea of it, but i feel like keybase is poised to nearly duplicate it's feature set, while adding a whole lot more. TBF, making keybase federated is not an easy task, but its got identity down better than anyone and thats the basis of any social network. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i think it'd be cool.
