Guys/Gals,
First off, thanks so much for all that everyone at MoneroTalk does to support liberty.
Telegram, X and other centralized social media platforms are NSA/CIA/FBI Honeypots, so those platforms aren't good for those seeking maximum anonymity. They also have another Achilles heel in common, they all operate using DNS, therefore can be turned off easily by central authorities. I am pleased with the vetting process of this forum, which led me to post this email.
Being crypto-currency enthusiasts with a healthy disdain for centralized authority fits me like a glove, so once I found you guys, it was like coming home. With all of the concerns of what is to come with society, what plans have you made to maintain more secure communications with the Monero Community? I learned about Monero thru Mike Adams channel on Decentralized TV, where I also learned about a new social media platform (Bastyon) conducted entirely on the block-chain, which, once installed, would continue to work after a DNS-driven internet kill switch (IKS) was to take place by those that rule much of the internet. This same IKS would make monero.town impossible to contact, while we'd all be unaffected on Bastyon.
I can appreciate the tendency to avoid other block chains and just wait for the Monero dev community to grow and address this issue, but I don't think this will bubble up as a priority in time for when we might need such a forum, so I was hoping to spark interest in adopting Bastyon or similar projects like Qortal, for all of us to communicate more freely.
Adoption of something like Bastyon, might ease the flow of information for those more sensitive about anonymity.
I'd like you to discuss this topic on an upcoming MoneroTalk.
I'd also appreciate some instruction on how I might join in the live chat so that I could join in on the episode where something like Bastyon is discussed.
Sincerely,
