Messaging

  • On Matrix I am @webmink:matrix.org
  • If you know my UK mobile number you can message me on Signal (or Telegram if you must)
  • I have a load of legacy accounts! UUCP and Compuserve no longer work but most others sort-of do.
  • I avoid Microsoft and Meta's products as far as I can while remaining normal. Please don't contact me on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, Skype or LinkedIn even if you can find my legacy accounts.
  • If all else fails, there is a contact form you can use to get in touch.
