Tech pedes,

I'm calling on each of you. Whether you're a software developer, QA analyst, devops engineer, sysadmin, or network engineer - you're needed. Regardless of where we stand currently, if there's anything that we've learned, it's that the-powers-that-be don't want us to be free. There's still a lot of us holding strong - and so I'm calling on each of you that are capable to let your nuts hang and join me.

Big Tech has worked hard to manipulate, control, and outright censor us. However, if we choose not to use these platforms, they no longer yield this power. Although we have tdw and other platforms like Parler, we are severely limited with options. And these platforms can go down at any time.

We have the ability to bring about our own, decentralized applications that cannot be censored and gives the control back to the people. It's time for a platform that no one has the ability to silence or censor the users which use it. This is what freedom of speech is about. I'm hoping that there are like-minded people who want to work together on decentralized applications that will help to preserve this right.

I'm currently working through some decentralized test applications using ipfs and orbit-db to accomplish a 100% decentralized web application. I would like to take it a step further and create a production ready application which also has a native iOS/Android app (Apache Cordova looks promising) and desktop application (electron).

Also - I would like to open source as much of this work as possible. If there's one thing we're learning about closed source/proprietary code / platform specific systems, it's that they are much more likely to have vulnerabilities and backdoors provided directly from the manufacturer to Big Brother. The open source community exists to do security audits.

So with that being said - if you're interested in the possibility of preserving our waning freedoms a bit longer, join:
