-<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My phone cannot run Riot well, so this is not a good place to attempt contacting me.
-<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However you can contact me through <a href="https://riot.im/app/#/user/@_xmpp_mikaela=40blesmrt.net:matrix.org" rel="me">Matrix.org</a> XMPP bridge <em>or you could if it wasn't currently down</em>.</li>
+<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Riot is the defacto client for the Matrix protocol which is in a friendly competition with XMPP, both of them are federated and wish to <em>bridge</em> everything into themselves. See also <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html">Try Matrix now</a> and <a href="{{site.address}}/keys#matrix">my Matrix fingerprints on my public keys page</a>. However my phone cannot run Riot well, so this is not a good place to attempt contacting me.
+<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a Matrix user you can contact me also through a bridge between Matrix and XMPP on <a href="https://riot.im/app/#/user/@_xmpp_mikaela=40blesmrt.net:matrix.org" rel="me">Matrix.org</a> <em>or you could if it wasn't currently down</em>.</li>
+<li>I am on <a href="https://signal.org/">Signal</a> with my main phone number <em>(please don't share them without my permission)</em>.
+<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is widely agreed to be the most secure and privacy friendly instant messenger, its interface is very similar to Facebook WhatsApp and could be thought as a drop-in replacement for it. I am listing it here as a commitment of keeping my account there (under assumption they won't become another Facebook WhatsApp) and in hope that my contacts from Facebook WhatsApp may find Signal and me, if they end up on this page.</li>

+<li>Mikaela on <a href="https://wire.com/">Wire</a>
+<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's the only fully end-to-end encrypted messaging platform that allows phone number registration on multiple platforms while supporting multiple devices (without depending on a single phone) and <em>the messaging app I picked to replace Facebook WhatsApp for my family</em>, I think it's my second preferred instant messaging platform after XMPP. I am also findable through email <em>(myname AT myname DOT info)</em> which can be used for registering instead (and/or in addition to) phone number. <a href="https://github.com/wireapp/wire/issues/240">Wire doesn't have public profile links.</a> See also <a href="{{site.address}}/keys#wire">my Wire fingerprints on my public keys page.</a></li>

+<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My preferred federated instant messaging protocol, <em>the universal messaging standard (since 1999)</em>, has all the modern features including end-to-end-encryption between multiple devices and being lightweight with clients available for possibly any platform. (On the friendly competition with Matrix, XMPP <em>transports</em> everything into itself.)
