I'm not a native speaker, but it looks weird without the comma before you.

I'm also not a native English speaker, but I agree with you. I think this is a first conditional sentence. If a conditional clause comes before a main clause, we separate them with a comma, source.

I think we should also consider changing the tense of a conditional clause from present continuous to present simple.

I don't think the continuous tense necessarily means "using right now". I think it highlights using it actively. If you currently use Telegram sounds like "if you use it at all". So in my opinion the continuous tense highlights that you use it actively - there's nothing wrong with using Messenger for some things and Signal for important things.

Though again I'm not a native speaker. We can fix the commas now and the tense possibly in future if we can get more opinions on it.

@Aquakor could you create a PR fixing the commas?

@Shifterovich yes, I will create it.
