Signal, while is End-to-End encrypted and cool, but it requires the central server. If the government shuts down the internet, you can’t organize your protest
But Briar does not require a central server and lets you connect via internet (via tor), bluetooth, or share between devices connected to the same wifi.
Imagine a protest where everyone is using Brair (and have added everyone as contacts), they could create a forum and one message from one end of the street can travel across the entire swarm of protesters, doesn’t matter if the government shut down the internet.
(I mean… at least until they figure out what y’all are doing and they start jamming bluetooth signals… 🤔 but even then, jammers have limited range, especially at the bluetooth spectrum)
All data is on your device (and all other devices the forum is shared with), there is no central server to take down content.
Theres are also Public Forums FYI. Not a lot of activity, but its like a secret club on the internet. Although the bot is often down, so you might have to wait a while to get added.
I truly believe that anyone that believes that it’s already happening will have their beliefs cemented, the people that reject any notion of fascism will reject it, and the people that are on the fence are too old or too dumb to actually make an informed decision
People should start filming and livestreaming all this shit asap
Haha internet goes [Error 404]
(Shoutout to Briar, an app that lets you communicate without the internet, very useful for an organized group of protesters)
Isn’t that basically what signal already does or is there something I should know about signal?
No.

ACLU has an app for police encounters that sends it directly to them for if the cop tries to delete from your phone

Nah. All we need to believe is some text on a picture. It’s all true!
My friends in gov are experiencing this stuff. Emails telling them to report all DEI contracts or face consequences. Shits real.
Right? I work in a company that has a lot of government contracts, I’m just a janitor, but it’s known I’m trans… do I count as a “DEI Hire” ?
