TLDR: Skip to 'What I did'

Hail pedes!

I saw the debacle that I knew it would be about Discord. Discord is (now) run by degenerate furries, so unless you are a porn producer grooming people on there, they don't want you on their platform. This was WELL-KNOWN 2 years ago. Search for 'Unicorn Riot' and 'doxxing'. It doesn't matter how good the server-client software is: if the company is monetized, the degenerate pedo-central bankers will buy it and put their degenerates in to run it. And while they have not actually produced anything of value in their own life, and will project their anger on you, by deleting both 'your' Discord server AND 'your' account, if you aren't situally-aware of what is going on in the world, in the end it's your fault.

I did say something on TDW but was shot down. Until the shooters were shot down within 24 hours. I must admit, I had a laugh entirely at their expense. So it wasn't a loss. For me.

I found out about a couple of Telegram channels and a couple of Matrix servers for TDW. Matrix allows a person or group to host their own server, in a real sense. Not the same as 'a Discord server' which is on Discord's server-farm - entirely owned, operated and managed by Discord Inc. It's not 'your server', Never Was. I am here to report that the matrix.donaldsarmy.us server is working, and seems to have at least 300 members.

Apparently, because the donaldsarmy creators wanted to keep Work/Home/Maga life separate (companies use Matrix servers too!), and there is, by default, a single sign-on you create for Matrix, the DonaldsArmy lads have opted to force people to create an account specific to the donaldsarmy.us server, and keep their server isolated. It may be, in the future, that collections of TDW servers are federated together, so the sign-on will work on all of them (you see that with the .win domains now), but for now, that does not seem to be the case.

That isolation, creates an issue for noobs, because the (Matrix) Element client for the phone, prompts people to create an account on Matrix.org. They then cannot use that account to access donaldsarmy.us. There is a step they needed to follow before creating their account: attaching their client to matrix.donaldsarmy.us, but this is not clear for a noob.

On top of that, if you like the federated sign-on you just created for yourself on Matrix, you cannot use the same Matrix client (such as Element) to sign onto multiple servers at the same time. This is a huge oversight on the part of the Matrix developers, and is, at this time, a much-requested feature that they are working on adding. Some change needs to be made to the Matrix server software to accommodate the change. I've looked at the ticket progress on it.

The work-around is to have two clients on your phone, or sign out of the Matrix.org federated login, and setup a new account on donaldsarmy.us (and, you have to do this for any additional MAGA-oriented server, until and unless they are federated with each other). I found the client 'SchildiChat', written by a german programmer, Schildi referring to 'shell' like 'turtle-shell' - works well as an additional client to Matrix, or on it's own.

What i did was: Install Element app, create an account that is the same as my TDW/TG account, and join the Stop The Steal channel hosted directly on Matrix.org (#STSTW:matrix.org). Once I was familiar with the Element client and using the Matrix services, I added the SchildiChat client and setup another account, on matrix.donaldsarmy.us. You will not find Schildichat on the Google Play Store. It is available on F-Droid, the primary google-alternative app store for android.

The Telegram channels are: https://t.me/pederides Group for rides with subgroups for regions, https://t.me/FriendsOfPete Pete Santilli's Group, https://t.me/TDwinJan6 another TDW rides group. For announcements-only, there are Channels like https://t.me/thepetesantillishow Note: after the 6th, the channel's names can change to suit their purpose, which means the links to them may change.

Note: I am not sponsoring any of these non-TDW servers, channels, or groups. You do your own cognizance.
