Description

Hello, I signed up for keybase a long time ago. I liked the idea of verifying different profiles and enjoy many of the new features you have been offering.

However I have no intention using Keybase Chat, however not only is this button visible on my profile, but if someone who has the extension installed browses different sites they are encouraged to send me a message I will never read. This is a real shame, as I would prefer they select some other communication method that I have provided so that they get a response.

I don't want to delete my keybase account in order to remove this button, so please allow users some way to indicate that they don't wish to use Keybase chat. Ideally this would remove links from other websites and make it obvious on my keybase profile that messages will likely not get read.
