Description

Keybase start fail to validate my identity proof, I tried to replace it, but Keybase are trying use a invalid link.
I think Keybase is using an outdated API from Mastodon. I wounder is other instances are with problems too.

Keybase are trying to open this URL:
https://fosstodon.org/settings/identity_proofs/new?provider=keybase&token={TOKEN}&provider_username=gbschenkel&username=gbschenkel&user_agent=linux:5.8.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Fosstodon identity-proof start and replacement flow using the URL shown in the report, then compare the request with Fosstodon's current identity-proof API. Check whether the failure is specific to Fosstodon or affects other Mastodon instances; done means creating and replacing the proof opens a valid flow.
