<h3 id="im">Instant messengers</h3>
<p>I currently have only Jami (WLAN-only) and XMPP in autostart, because I have a policy of <strong>not autostarting Electron apps</strong> due to them including Chromium browser and thus being very heavy, especially if you run multiple ones. I cannot prioritize e.g. Wire and Signal, so I find it easier to start none. In case I am missing your favourite platform, please note that I name more platforms where I can be reached than average person could even name. No, Facebook and Skype are not options.<br/>
Another policy I have is keeping my email at 0 unreads, so it has became a way to hopefully reach me at least once a day at best. (In other news email is insecure and should be replaced with not-electron&not-Telegram solution.)</p>
<p>Autostart: XMPP, Telegram, Wire, Signal. Otherwise checked at least Riot. If you urgently need me and I am not actively looking at the app, you use, <strong>please call me in-app, even if you would instantly hang up, I would see the notification</strong>.</p>

<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 <strong>nor add me to groups without asking me first</strong>, because that results to phone number sharing)</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>Telegram.org with my main phone number <em>(please don't share them without my permission)</em>. <strong>I DISCOURAGE TELEGRAM USE!</strong>
<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As <a href="https://telegram.org/faq#q-what-do-i-do-if-my-username-is-taken">Telegram may change my username for not owning it on Facebook Facebook, Twitter or Facebook Instragram</a> and refusing to use those services, I cannot list the username here and request confirming my identity on a more secure channel or by using the phone number. <strong>Used for</strong> not having electron and <strong>people/groups who are only on it</strong> (and worse platforms) as I am a human and miss some people and social groups. <strong>Don't use it for anything private</strong> (especially with me as if I have a contact with you on a more reliable channel, I may have to block you), <a href="https://telegram.org/faq#q-why-not-open-source-everything">the server code is closed</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram_(software)#Security">the security is a lie</a>, Android app <a href="https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/commits/master">a mess</a> (so I recommend <a href="https://github.com/Telegram-FOSS-Team/Telegram-FOSS">a fork</a> if you absolutely have to) and I wouldn't trust the desktop either, but a trusted non-Telegram source such as <a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/telegram-desktop">Debian main repository</a> is the least bad option.</li>

<li>Mikaela on <a href="https://get.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" rel="me">my Wire fingerprints on my public keys page.</a></li>

<li><a href="xmpp:mikaela@blesmrt.net" rel="me">mikaela AT blesmrt DOT net</a> and <a href="xmpp:mikaela@disroot.org" rel="me"> mikaela AT disroot DOT org</a>on XMPP>
<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. See also <a href="{{site.address}}/keys#omemoxmpp" rel="me">OMEMO on my public keys page.</a> and <a href="https://xmpp.org/getting-started/">getting started with XMPP</a>.</li>
