What the frick is this self important bullshit? Does bard think he's sitting on a deadmans trigger about super serious internet drama like he's a fricking CIA agent?

But there's no reason to post the public key then. Just leave the wall of text encrypte by the private key with a note that you'll release the public key if shit hits the fan.

The way he did it shows a core misunderstanding of the point of paired keys and prevents him from using the private key in the future to prove his identity.

Also the private key signature on the post proves nothing to no one. It's literally just him showing off the features in as many ways as possible whether they make sense or not. Signing future posts would at least prove they're the same author as the previous posts but he loses that ability the second he releases the private key which is the point he'd need to start verifying his identity
