I prefer email over other messaging systems. Whenever my computer is on, my email client is open. I usually respond within 24 hours but sometimes it may take a day or two.
My email address is arh at alirezahayati period com. You should know that email is not a secure way of communication. It can have a relatively good privacy but it’s never perfect; so don’t send sensitive information over email.
It’s best to encrypt your message even if your message is not sensitive. Use my PGP key to do so. Also, you should send me your public key so I can encrypt my messages to you too.
I also publish some posts on Mastodon decentralized social network. My handle is @arh@mstdn.io. Unlike Twitter, which is centralized, you can follow or interact with me on any fediverse/ActivityPub compatible server. That includes, but is not limited to, Mastodon, Pleroma, and GNU Social.

Some guides
Send your messages in plain text. Don’t send HTML messages. If you send me a link to your message, I won’t open it. Please don’t send files I haven’t asked for. I won’t open any file unless I’ve asked for it.
Don’t be shy to ask me a for a favor, if you need anything and feel I can do it for you, ask me. I’ll say no if I can’t do it or I just don’t want to.
You don’t need to be so polite, I follow Crocker’s rules.
I may miss your message. This happens very rarely but it’s possible. If you think I missed your message, don’t hesitate to send a reminder. Please reply your previous message so I know what’s this about.
If you want to comment on a post, send me the link of the post so I can understand what you’re talking about. Please note that my opinions have changed many times, and will change again in future, that happens when you’re growing up.
Don’t ask for personally identifiable data of me or anybody else.
