Yep! Establish local, decentralized communication. Make local Telegram groups, something that can survive getting zucc'd. Don't wait for freaking Crowder or Shapiro to provide "leadership." WE are the leaders.

Signal (and Wickr) are secure-messaging apps you can download to your smartphone.

A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. Sounds fancy, but at it's core is another app you can download to your smartphone that helps prevent your online activity from being tracked and/or exploited.

Steps:

  1. Download a VPN app (lots of free ones, I like ProtonVPN) and a secure-messaging app like Signal. These are available on the Google Play Store. Not sure about Apple.

  2. You'll have to create your new usernames/passwords for your new accounts. Some messaging apps require a phone number. If you are uncomfortable with this, go with Wickr or download a "text message app" to get a random phone number.

  3. Run the VPN app first, so your actions will be "masked."

  4. Run your messaging apps/chats/etc..

Disclaimer: I am not an IT person or any flavor of hacker or computer expert. And I know there are tons of better options out there. I'm just explaining what works for me and what might actually be doable by most non-tech-savvy Pedes.

Saw that one earlier. Great stuff. This is as good as my deplorable redneck ass can do.
