📬 Contact

I value privacy, openness, and decentralization.
That’s why I don’t use traditional centralized messaging platforms.

Instead, you can reach me through open, federated, and privacy-respecting communication networks. These systems are not controlled by a single company, give users ownership of their identity, and support secure, independent communication.

📡 Primary contact methods (preferred)

🔐 SimpleX

SimpleX is a privacy-first messaging network with no user identifiers and no global directory.
It is designed to minimize metadata and maximize anonymity.

➡ Use SimpleX to contact me securely and directly.

👉 Message me on SimpleX

💬 XMPP (Jabber)

XMPP is a long-standing open messaging protocol based on federation.
It works similarly to email: you choose a server, but can message users on other servers.

➡ Send me a message using my XMPP address.
Supports encryption via OMEMO.

💬 You can reach me on XMPP here: rubenstorm@c0nnect.de

🌐 Matrix

Matrix is a modern decentralized communication network for real-time messaging.
It supports federation, end-to-end encryption, and cross-server communication.

➡ You can reach me via my Matrix ID.

💬 You can reach me on Matrix here: @rubenstorm:nope.chat

🌍 Alternative Contact (Social Protocols)

While the methods above are the only guaranteed contact channels, you may also reach out via decentralized social networks:

  • Fediverse — You can send me a private message if our instances federate.
  • Nostr — Direct messages are possible if you know my public key.

✨ Why these platforms?

  • No central authority
  • Interoperable and open standards
  • Privacy-respecting by design
  • User-controlled identity
  • Future-proof communication

If you care about digital autonomy too, we’ll get along great 🙂
