Announcement from the Keybase det_disp group regarding their upcoming ban.

Hey @here –
I’m afraid I’ve got unfortunate news. We recently learned that keybase will no longer allow 3D printed gun content/discussion on it’s platform – while we suspected this was coming after zoom acquired keybase, we have now confirmation of that.
While this will be a little speedbump, we have already set up a self-hosted instance of rocketchat over at https://chat.deterrencedispensed.com/home. This chat should have most of the features that keybase offered – the only thing sorely missing will be KBFS, though we are actively experimenting with a couple replacements for KBFS. More on that later.
The new server will have the same rules, same basic layout, but a few different modes of operation. Betas will be handled a little differently, and the look and feel will take a little getting used to – but discussions can be curated into side rooms easily, and the overall clutter of the chat should be resolved.
So, on the evening of 1/20/21, this chat (Det_Disp on keybase) will be locked down, all rooms will be deleted, and KBFS will be purged. The team will stay up, but only with one channel that has a locked message that will contain the link to our new home and a brief commentary on why we moved.
I’ve enjoyed using keybase, but with Biden taking office, it’s best that we moved off of a platform that we don’t host ourselves anyway – the costal liberals who run zoom would take great pleasure at banning us without warning at Joe’s request, so I do appreciate keybase’s legacy staff giving us prior warning of the pending enforcement action against us.
I am sure that the move will not slow our progress, and look forward to seeing you all in our new home – the future holds many challenges and promises. Until next time, keep your printers warm and your minds clear.
