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

2017-11-15 20:54:12 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 20:54:13 UTC  

Just checked. You're good to go.

2017-11-15 20:54:50 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 20:55:37 UTC  

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.

2017-11-15 20:56:10 UTC  

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.

2017-11-15 20:56:39 UTC  

Ah this is cool.

2017-11-15 20:57:18 UTC  

It'll hopefully be cooler in the coming weeks.

2017-11-15 20:57:50 UTC  

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.

2017-11-15 20:58:08 UTC  

Everybody hates being told to use yet another platform.

2017-11-15 21:00:44 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:01:22 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:01:49 UTC  

Discord is for 12 year olds. 😛

2017-11-15 21:01:50 UTC  

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.

2017-11-15 21:03:05 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:03:07 UTC  

So there's that

2017-11-15 21:03:33 UTC  

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".

2017-11-15 21:03:44 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:04:03 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:04:11 UTC  

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.

2017-11-15 21:04:39 UTC  

Oy vey shutting it down isn't working anymore!

2017-11-15 21:04:56 UTC  

I predicted what Discord was going to do right after Cville

2017-11-15 21:05:19 UTC  

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!"

2017-11-15 21:05:32 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:05:32 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:06:14 UTC  

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.

2017-11-15 21:06:25 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:06:38 UTC  

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

2017-11-15 21:06:44 UTC  

they want the story to go away, its bad optics

2017-11-15 21:06:49 UTC  

we just need a gofundme to buy discord

2017-11-15 21:06:53 UTC  

all problems solved

2017-11-15 21:07:13 UTC  

Discord will probably be owned by Muslims here shortly.

2017-11-15 21:07:14 UTC  

With 4gw, we've got to get smarter about anticipating these big clumsy reactions and duck out of the way. I should've disabled my facebook and all associated pages on August 13th.

2017-11-15 21:07:19 UTC  

The way Sweden is going, anyway.

2017-11-15 21:07:41 UTC  

Had I taken down my facebook and pages, we could be set up to spring back up in a few weeks with most of our followers and traffic.

2017-11-15 21:21:11 UTC  

2017-11-15 21:23:53 UTC  

So who is over the 5th regiment?

2017-11-15 21:24:11 UTC  

I'm confused on my local hierarchy.
