Yup.

We're already infrastructurally way ahead of our allies, but there's still much to be done, and much education and improvement in the interface.

It's all well and good that I have the theoretical solution implemented, but we also have to help people figure it out.

When are we getting our own search engine to combat data collection 😆

DuckDuckGo

Hahahaha

I joined as a supporter and I just emailed Katherine back. Do I need to wait for account info or can I log in to the forum?

And once they come after us, we'll know our infrastructure is safe. All we'll have to worry about are the Mossad snatch squads

Your account info is your Fash Emporium username and password.

Message me your username if you're not already added to your regiment group when you log in at tradworker.org.

Supporters go into the Regiment group? That doesn't seem secure

Just checked. You're good to go.

The way we have it set up is that the colonels can move people who are vetted and communicating into hidden groups.

Nobody's really doing that, yet. But the way it's designed, in theory, should make it quite secure. Leaders will have all the information at their fingertips to arrive at an informed conclusion about how much inclusion to allow an individual.

But, yes. The TWP Supporter and the Regiment groups are basically public. But the idea is that can be the starting point for the vetting and integration.

Ah this is cool.

It'll hopefully be cooler in the coming weeks.

My hope is that it'll replace the Discord. But I want that to happen because of superior features and flexibility. Not because of badgering.

Everybody hates being told to use yet another platform.

I've used discord for over 2 years now 😢 and now she's kicking me off

If you aren't using APRS Ham radio text messaging, idk wtf you're doing.

Discord is for 12 year olds. 😛

There's been some prominent articles noting that the censorship thing didn't really work, so we might be enjoying another extended period without fuckery. But we must necessarily be prepared for the worst.

We are going to require all of our members to be licensed ham radio operators with 5wpm morse code testing.

A different bigger server that I admin was mentioned in an article on The Guardian and we weren't shoah'd

So there's that

I've always talked with other figures in the "movement" (whatever that is now-a-days) about making private infrustructure so we couldn't be easily kicked off platforms or censored. They always kinda laughed it off and said "wtf bro, discord is the best".

Yeah. There are some hopeful signs. And maybe we can weasel back onto a payment processor eventually, too.

I'm looking to get my Ham Radio Tech license. I'll start there lol

They seem to have learned by example that censoring us just ends up forcing us to create cool new things they have no control over at all.

Oy vey shutting it down isn't working anymore!

I predicted what Discord was going to do right after Cville

And surely some deep state weasels have been like, "Dammit! If you dumbasses keep doing that, we won't have our backdoor access to their communication!"

I was amazed when I saw large groups of people organizing Cville on discord.

I said they were going to make a big show about kicking off the high profile, public servers and the ones that (((journalists))) made a big stink about reporting, then once it died down they would go right back to ignoring it since it isn't worth the PR

There was a sharknado of pressure. Stripe, impressively enough, emailed me explaining that they're bowing to all the pressure and legal threats. No moralizing. No boilerplate about terms. Just an honest admission that they've been bullied.

they needed to make some headlines about doing something about the problem, so they did

but if they keep doing it, the story that nazis are still using Discord hurts them more

they want the story to go away, its bad optics
