{synonym}
<Ciro Santilli> is very happy to meet people with related interests, he really loves his like-minded online friends. Even if you don't have something a specific goal in mind for the contact, please just say hi.
To contact Ciro publicly about any general subject that is not covered in a more specific <GitHub> repository, including saying hi or suggestions about his website either:
* create a <GitHub> issue at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/cirosantilli.github.io/issues/new or <Giscus> thread
* at mention <Ciro Santilli's Twitter accounts>[Ciro's main Twitter account]
For <Ciro Santilli's campaign for freedom of speech in China>[comments about China], first read:
* https://github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/faq
* https://github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
and then create a <GitHub> issue at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/issues/new
Publicly viewable contact is preferred if possible to more effectively share <Cirism>[Ciro's wisdom with the world].
But if you feel more comfortable with private contact, no problem, either:
* <email>: `cirosantilli` with provider <ProtonMail> which has domain name `proton.me`. All lowercase and removing the placeholder characters `<` and `>`. Note that Ciro also controls the <Gmail> address with that same username, and keep in mind that <Gmail dot trick>[dots are ignored in Gmail addresses]. But <ProtonMail> preferred because why should we give our private minds to the <CIA> by default? Push notifications disabled.
* <Signal (software)>: username `cirosantilli.89` https://signal.me/\#eu/BuJjV0enXYTOnFFc1FZV5LFcWodL1a2Oy9VZ5uyQU7xrYxqw+npIcaHBqghWudrI[]. 89 is a reference to <Ciro Santilli>'s birth year 1989. Push notifications enabled, but treat like email unless we are actively chatting back and forth.
For other less good methods that will also work, use direct messages of the following profiles from under <accounts>{full}:
* <LinkedIn>: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cirosantilli
* <Reddit>: https://www.reddit.com/user/cirosantilli
* <Facebook>: https://www.facebook.com/cirosantilli
* <Telegram (software)>: https://telegram.me/cirosantilli[]. Note that <end-to-end encryption> is present on secret chats only, which don't have device sync. Ridiculous.
If you are a <Internet privacy>[privacy] freak or are going to tell Ciro <government>[state] secrets Ciro has this <GNU Privacy Guard> public key: \a[pubkey.gpg].
