I deliberately publish my Ricochet ID (ricochet:it2j3z6t6ksumpzd) and accept most requests from random people. It's led to mostly people who add me as a contact then close Ricochet before I reply and never open it again, a large handful of fun conversations with interesting people, and a couple of weird conversations with crazy people :).

Sadly not scalable, but one of the great pleasures of using early or obscure communications media.

The entire early Internet worked this way and it was lovely.
