> Moxie and I have a close professional relationship but I'm not sure what bearing that has on asking for the code of Keybase's server to be open-sourced.
You have a professional relationship with the founder of one of their competitors. It's appropriate in those cases to note that you have a bias. I realize you don't think you have a bias, but that's the whole point.
> If you want trust, you have to be open source.
That's such a confusing statement, and a particularly misleading one coming from someone that works for a crpyto company.
The whole point of end to end crypto is that you don't need to trust the server.
> I honestly have no idea why this is even controversial :/.
That's the core of the problem. You have a professional relationship with the founder of Signal. If you comment on a thread about Signal, or it's competitors, we shouldn't have to click the link to your site to find that out.
Think of it as building trust...
