Although I would consider myself to be a technical person in general sense, I was definitely a non-technical light user of Keybase. More specifically, I was not really concerned of how they did their encryption, as long as they did it well, and I had Keybase just in case I needed to encrypt, rather than than actually using it daily like some here.
Looking back on my usage of Keybase, I realize that encryption to me is a feature, not a tool or an app. I prefer my conversations encrypted, but I don't seek out an app that does it. I would like my files to not be tampered with, but I just kind of assume that's the default on Dropbox at el, even if it's not.
From this view point, it might be a good thing that Zoom acquired Keybase. I would have rather it be Slack or Google or Microsoft, but Zoom will have to do. If they don't murder the acquisition right away, there is a chance they turn Zoom and all their future tools into a more secure environment, in which case it's a win-win for all.
