This is the direct translation from the original Chinese text.

When I write this letter, it has been forty-nine days since the leak of your OpenPGP private key. During the daytime, as I busy myself with study and daily life, everything seems much the same as before. Over this period, I have met many new friends and have shared joyful moments with them. Yet, especially in recent days, I have begun to feel that something vital is missing from my life. Whenever I am alone at night, when all is quiet and still, fragments of memories begin to assail me. It was then that I realised — I miss you.

Due to my concerns about security and privacy on Telegram (proprietary server and centralised) and Matrix (centralising by decentralising), I plan to deprecate them for private conversations.

From 1 January 2026, I will no longer use Telegram for direct conversations with friends and acquaintances. I will, however, continue to use it for public conversations (e.g. communities). From 1 July 2026, the same policy will apply to Matrix.
