Hi agbdsad, thanks for getting in touch with us despite everything.

> It is not exactly easy to get in touch with you by what you see on https://tails.boum.org/support/
Sorry to hear that :(

> There is no explanation whatsoever how to get started with the chat room you ship pidgin so whatabout an explanation of how to setup it properly?
Using XMPP requires having an account provided by some external service. Seeing that all this is quite complicated for our audience and that we are ourselves not very active on the chat for support requests, we are planning on removing these instructions.

See https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/support_page/

> Another thing making this worse is that there is a somewhat depricated oftc room still running without much mentioning
Right. The thing is that we can’t really prevent people from opening IRC rooms with “tails” in it, even if we’re not there ourselves.

> This is in no way noob friendly and should be fixed if it isn’t a way to filter out noobs from getting in touch with you.
The same page also mentions how to reach us over email: would that work for you?
