Anything centralized and owned by a company is not safe. They can be pressured. Imagine if the same thing were to happen right before the rally. We need a better option.

EDIT:

Why Matrix?

  1. It’s open source. It isn’t controlled by a single company that can be pressured by alphabet agencies or foreign countries.
  2. It’s distributed. There isn’t a single point of failure.
  3. It’s encrypted.

How to join:

  1. Visit and make an account https://app.element.io/#register
  2. When creating your account, choose “advanced” and use the homeserver URL https://matrix.donaldsarmy.us

Keep daily backups of the shared files you’ve worked on.

Do it old school. Back a few years ago we used something called IRC, and I was on there for years... Then everything went centralized with discord, slack, reddit, facebook, twitter, etc.

It may be time to go back to IRC. At the very least, I wish people would learn to use it, it's not really much harder than discord. You can even run your own server if necessary.

Try element.io (formerly riot.im) and enable E2E encryption. Your private key stays on your own computer.
