One of my ongoing projects is building a viable replacement for Discord

but it's one of those things that's just going to take a while, being a working family man :/

to be fair it sounds like they targeted just Charlottesville related people

but it's unclear whether the group actually threatened violence

Identity Evropa's discord got shut down

that just hits a little too close to home for me

it's hardly surprising when the way people get in is by invites posted on fucking 4chan or whatever open place you can find

yeah 4chan has some real fucking degenerates

unfortunately everybody here is from 4chan

eeeeexactly

not to mention, a solid 25% is agents and agitators

We might even need to move off of 4chan

or have an alternative

well if you guys have idea about where we can recruit, share it with us any time.

you got 2 options

one is keep the channel clean

the other is making everything private

and set up vetting before people can view anything

that said, discord-employeed would still be able to see everything

so if the channel got reported regardless, having it all private wouldnt help anything

privacy is more for protection of the people here

and obviously everyone should observe proper opsec as always

there should be a back up set up if this discord ever became ((controversial))

otherwise it's fine

as for recruiting I guess just referring friends is the best I could do

as long as this is operating on some proprietary platform

it'll never be safe or secure

the ONLY way is to build your own tool ENTIRELY

and have it run semi-decentralised, so that it can't be taken down (because its decentralised)

and you still have control over who can come in or not (hence, semi-decentralised)

@Dunkle How do you gain money from trading crypto (in the sense of how does it work)?

it all comes down to 'buy low sell high' in the end honestly

there's more to it then that, find cryptos that are undervalued, put money in, and wait for them to go up then sell

it's essentially no different from playing the stock market

If it's too decentralized, then you get issues in synchronous messaging... Lets say Alice, Bob, and Carl are in a chat room, it's completely decentralized so they each store the data for the chat history

but if alice and bob had a conversation, and neither are online, carl won't be able to retrieve that conversation's data

you could implement a decentralized blockchain, but then you have to incentivize people to host and compute all of those cryptographic messages, this is usually done with some kind of digital token

depends on the amount of users, your suggestion is countered by having a single accont that's online 'all the time'

if you want an experience like discord, then the only solution is to have a "single source of truth" (a central server)

having a chat thing on a blockchain is a terrible idea

you'd want the ability to purge anything
