Nevermind corporate PR campaigns, digital marketing companies or advertising - NOTHING spreads information faster or more effectively than word of mouth
PanQuake has designed a brand new first-time-ever set of amplification tools that takes word of mouth and puts it on steroids
Example #1: PanQuakes
PanQuakes would have let #wallstreetbets fans, in a series of swift clicks, select the best commentary/info about WSB (either their own messages or others or a combination thereof) & in one click convert them into a single link shareable anywhere on the net
Anyone who clicks on the link (called a PanQuake, the function for which we named the platform) would be taken to a web page with a custom timeline populated with the messages the user had selected to be displayed
ie. no more big tech choosing what we see - now we get to choose!
Example #2: ThunderQuakes
Ppl who were really excited about what #wallstreetbets was doing could choose to expend ThunderQuakes on it. Either by gifting ThunderQuakes points to key WSB accounts, to help them better amplify their messages, or by crafting TQ messages of their own
(TQ points aren't purchased for cash - they're earned, via altruistic gamification.)
Using a ThunderQuake point allows you to send a special message which shows up in the notifications tab of *EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO FOLLOWS YOU* notifying them that something special is going on
That message has an end date & time (could be 15 minutes time, could be 5 days, could be 1 month) & asks the follower to click ✅ if they want to help spread that message, or ❎ if they don't. At scheduled time, the message auto-copies to the timelines of everyone who clicked ✅
This means that when your ThunderQuake message about #wallstreetbets fired off, it would automatically copy to the timelines of hundreds, or thousands, or potentially tens of thousands of accounts *INSTANTANEOUSLY*.
Now you see what I mean by word of mouth on steroids.
Example #3: LoveQuakes
So you have to go do something IRL but don't want to stop sharing #WallStreetBets content?

You may have noticed the recent tweet by @JohnKiriakou endorsing PQ.
John is one of the first people in the world to see the PQ application working & described it as 'futuristic'.
It was huge for us to get to demo PQ for him in this way & we can't wait til you can see it too!
Ppl constantly ask me for my opinion on what is going on. When I give it, many assume I am coming from a fixed position. Actually, every single day I consume the following:
I also watch all the press conferences, be they pro or anti Western position
When you review such a spectrum of media content on a regular basis you see the way single events are skewed not just by one of two sides, but by every single outlet
They ALL have their own slants

I also watch both left & right wing podcasts & you tube shows. I follow & watch people I like and ideologically align with AND those who I don't, every single day
Living in Russia, I also have real world experience/perspective
As for @Panquake dev progress last month we revealed our interface had functioning elements in place. This month, the core structural components are basically complete
Our drag & drop panels move around & reset correctly & are now customizable - resizable, pop-outable & more
First thing I see: the site uses tracking cookies.
Second thing I see: it collects email addresses & phone numbers.
Third thing I see: Advertising on its dashboard.
That isn't alternative social media.
It's the same old data surveillance rehashed.
Having a closer look. Here's their privacy policy. Which is basically an anti-privacy policy.
GETTR is registered in the United States & thus subject to US jurisdiction.
So, it's Parler 2.0.
After some lip service to claiming they only collect what you voluntarily give them (incl your SEARCHES!), scroll down a little bit further & find they actually fingerprint your browser, device & router info
(Panquake is engineered to avoid capturing of ANY of this information)
Last week, we hit our Phase 2 funding target of 167k and launched Phase 3, where we will raise an additional 500k to complete the service delivery of the product. More details about this later.
Incidentally, to celebrate Phase 3 I got some cool new graphic templates :P

In terms of general campaign progress, we're ecstatic to have the final goalposts in sight and will work to meet the final target as fast as possible.
In the meantime, we are progressing the blockchain build & performing the BETA delivery vetting for our first 5,000 users
