Now, we have to use encrypted chat for practically everything (one of our services is an XMPP server with encryption). Back then, we didn't worry that someone was "tapping" our phone (old hardwired) or anything like that.

Now, protests are planned with txt messages or other chat systems and of course, cops show up before protesters and declare it and illegal assembly.

Now, you you don't use a device like a phone to pay for things at a gas station or buss fares....

How stupid has the country gotten? Shit is going to hit the fan and so few people will know what to do.

@BeAware

I'm from the old days with BBSs and open comms with all the chat systems. I remember having an XMPP connection with yahoo, Facebook, GoogleTalk and all that. Ya, I'm old 😂

If Fakebook and TwitterDumb hadn't gone south, I'd probably still be on them. Here, it feels so much like before the corporate takeover and the cesspools, I love it.

@BeAware

There, dug up your other accounts and followed them. 😉

@BeAware

I've seen your posts from threads too. So far, your the only threads user I've seen. When/if others show up, as amin on Beamship, we have discussed it and if it does "go south", won't hesitate to block but so far, your keeping it open for us 😜

@BeAware

Hashtags seem to be ignored in Alt text but good question about tagging someone

@BeAware

I have several blocks like all YouTube links and a few hashtags.

@BeAware @babadookspinoza

It amazes me when I hear people are getting this stuff here. You have about 2x followers then me but apparently, they have yet to find me. I'm always sorry for people who are getting it.

@BeAware @babadookspinoza

Yeah and I've even reminded people to be careful

@BeAware @babadookspinoza

At Beamship, I keep a very close eye on it looking for the hate and fake news.

My birthday is coming up (2/9), can we get this thing done???

#MPAQ / #KMPQ is funded by a small group of people out of pocket doing odd jobs here and there. We work hard to bring you music and social media but it gets difficult at times to raise funds. Any help would be extremely greatfull and welcomed.

The place our network is hosted, has corporate power grid problems. We would like to build a solar/wind system to replace it with a stable power supply. The goal is $2,000 and we would use the money to build solar power with 800w panels, 2K amp/hours in a battery bank, an inverter.

This should keep 4 laptops, a desktop, 2 RaspberryPi's and network equipment live in blackout times that often lasts for several hours.

Please boost for bigger reach. 😊

Having a "3rd party" would help so much for balancing the other 2.

@hannu_ikonen

But both Dems and repubs are owed by oligarchs. Yet, no one seems to see that 😡

Portland Oregon is mostly dem and yet they've aloud a biodiesel pipeline to be put IN the river. Keep telling me how Dems are so much better than repubs. 😡😡😡
