Contacts

I used to be on every possible messenger and social network as @BasilSkrnk. Most of those accounts are abandoned.

• If you met me somewhere else, you may try to contact me there. However, it’s not a reliable way. I may read your message within months or years.

Direct Contact

#

•   Email Me

  The best way to contact me is to write me an email. It’s reliable, and I’ll read your message within 24 hours most times, or a couple of days worst times.

  • I have Proton Mail too, if you like.

• Instant Messengers

  A faster turnaround can be achieved by messaging me at matrix.org (you’d need an account).

  • That doesn’t guarantee I’ll be quick(er) to reply there, so I recommend connecting via email first.

Social Networks

#

Here is the list of my public internet profiles that I’m aware of:

•  LinkedIn
  • I remember the times LinkedIn was so bad, that I’ve not yet grown to appreciate and use it. But I cannot deny its usefulness for a professional life. Saying that, I’m not very active there. Although, I try to keep my profile up-to-date.
•  Instagram
  • I’m on Instagram, as everyone these days.
  • I’ve been a very active user since my first iPhone, early 2012. Till circa 2017.
  • I’m not an active visitor these days, I may visit it once in a while to like some post of a real person I know.
  • Writing me there is unreliable.
  • You may follow me, if you like, but do not expect me to either follow you back (I may not even notice, sorry) or post often.
  • I plan to keep my Instagram activity limited, once in a while is plenty for me.
•  Facebook. I’m on Facebook too, but I’m no longer a frequent visitor.
  • If you like, we can keep in touch there, but don’t expect me to be active.
  • I may visit to connect to some distant people. I think, it’s a perfect way to have some minor contacts, like that person you met on an airplane, why not?
  • I don’t plan to be active there, unless I need something. E.g. I like its events and communities for some real-life events.
•  Behance. I was very active on the platform once, mostly as an Instagram-alternative. Scrolling and exploring the nice works of others, you know. Although, it doesn’t work as a source of inspiration for me.
  • I have some projects published there, and I plan to publish more, at some point.
•  Dribbble. I never liked the platform, so I’m inactive there.
  • However, I admit, the platform matured significantly over the years, and may have a nice community.
•  Twitter was my favourite network since its inception. I was an active user with various accounts for many years (over 15).
  • But since Elon Muscovite created a disinformation propaganda platform out of it, I’m no longer.
    More on the issue:
  • At the moment, I’m exploring the alternatives:
  •  Mastodon
  •  BlueSky
  •  Threads
• I was active on  Reddit too, but I’m no longer.

Potentially interesting social networks that I haven’t explored yet:

• Skuttlebutt (wiki)
• Lemmy, a decentralised Reddit alternative.
• GoToSocial

I have some other profiles, but they’re irrelevant.

• E.g. some travelling-related social media, like Swarm, Foursquare, CouchSurfing, Booking.com, AirBNB, Google Local Guides etc.
