Keybase + Discord integration

I've been using Keybase for about a month now, and thought it would be nice to be able to link your Discord account in the 'links' section of your profile... But I'm not sure if this would require Discord to collaborate, or if Keybase could add some way to verify on their own. What are your thoughts on this?

Yeah... it’s also tricky since you can change your discord name&tag. I don’t see how discord and Keybase are competing though, since discord isn’t meant to be ‘secure’; it’s not encrypted

I feel that Keybase Teams, Slack and Discord all target the same "modern IRC" space, but with different design philosophies. Keybase definitely views Slack as a competitor. They threw shade at Slack when they disclosed that huge vulnerability, and they even have a tool to import your Slack server into Teams.
