We have been running the #defcon https://forum.defcon.org server for over 20 years, it’s reachable over #Tor, even has an app.

But participation is really low, and all the energy is on the faster moving socials. Without dedicated people fostering community and conversations it won’t feel as attractive.

I’d love, ❤️ and 💕 to grow the forums, create sub forums for different communities and projects that want their own space, and let people people self manage them.

That will take effort from everyone involved. If people are interested we can help and refresh the forums.

forum.defcon.org

A community for hackers and security researchers to build and share.

DEF CON Forums

They get you to invest time and energy building a following on their platform. Mine the data. Corral you into someplace safe that they can marginalized at will. Then at the next inflection point, like an election, they shut you down. And what do you do? Go looking for the next corporate overlord certain that the next time will be different.

It will not be different.

Until we own the platforms we write for, we will always be subject to their will, and our resistance ultimately futile.

Ok kids, here we go:

#Bandwagon, the open #Fediverse alternative to #Bandcamp is ready for its first steps into the light.

I have a waitlist online at
https://bandwagon.fm if you'd like to try it out.

I'm planning to build the first (dozen? I don't know) profiles in the waitlist personally, with an email questionnaire and FaceTime follow-ups if necessary.

Once I'm confident in the UX, we'll open up self-serve signups for everyone.
