contact

E-mail is my preferred contact method, especially if we do not know each other well.

E-mail

you can reach me via E-mail at opal@wowana.me.

PGP is suggested. please give me a well-formed PGP public key so I may reply.
if you E-mail me, use a descriptive subject line or else I will not respond.
yes, I have received your message, if you do not receive a bounceback (generally within four days). sometimes it takes a while for me to reply, if I do at all.
sometimes I receive mail from misconfigured servers and I cannot reply. complain to your postmaster if you think this has happened.

only send mail to blackhole@wowana.me if you are a spam bot.

I do not enjoy small talk especially from strangers. use E-mail if at all possible, but if you need to use XMPP with me, say who you are and what you want, or I will block you.
my OMEMO keys and my account handle are here, including a PGP-signed QR code, as well as a link to a plaintext PGP-signed statement with my current keys. please take the time to manually trust my keys, and give me an out-of-band way to trust yours.
please do not use OTR. if you must, you may use OpenPGP encryption in your client, with my PGP key.

get in touch with me via E-mail if you need to talk to me via Matrix or IRC. however, I do not prefer them for one-on-one messaging.
