Well, I do introduce myself to people as ek without a mask on conferences or in @PlebLab so not showing my face online is just a way to limit exposure.
So it's not like it's impossible to know me IRL :)
👀 but how can I verify that unmasked ek is the @ek
reply
Have him show you his logged-in sn account
but then he could have just stolen ek's phone...

You mean signatures?

You exchange fingerprints in-person so you can later attest that the signature corresponds with the person you met IRL.

I would then ask @ek to send me a mail with his private key 😂 problem solved!

Why would I send you my private key, it's private 👀
And even if, what if someone stole my private key? 👀👀👀
reply
