THREAD: @pan_quake's 5th Public Delivery Event just wrapped filming and will be posted online soon. Featured some huge announcements on all that's been done in the last month & what's to come this week!
Read through the below for a spoiler with a TL;DR of all the details!
1/
Thanks to YOU all our key campaign metrics are UP UP UP this month, despite PayPal having effectively seized (without saying so) 40% of our total income since May 13th
No wonder the powers that be feel threatened - this campaign is consistently GROWING!
2/
Because making good on our promises in our delivery meetings is so important to us, we revisit the previous month's announcements then present the new month's progress. Last month we said coding would begin June 5th. It did & now MAJOR parts of our build are underway!

Now comes the super fun stuff. Introducing: Talk Liberation

Talk Liberation - Your Worldwide Internet Report, hosted by the very talented @_taylorhudak will be delivering you the week's top news in internet issues via long form articles & in high production quality video episodes, on Substack!
I'M BACK for the 1st time in 20 months.. but only briefly. I resurrected this account so I could hand it to my team to run.
I'll explain why in the below thread & briefly recap the last ~15 years that led to this
There hasn't been a minute that I stopped working for you all

I'll start with Panquake: it is ALIVE. Given we posted 62 campaign updates to date I assumed that was obvious but it seems Twitter's silencing of the widely followed @Panquake account really did break the communication lines with some supporters.
All the latest news & updates on PQ development progress, including the exciting announcement that we are now ready to show the world the look & feel of the PQ interface!
Follow the thread for more details:
You can see the full public delivery meeting video here: vimeo.com/683644353 featuring myself & @seanodiggity presenting @Panquake news and updates, as we do every single month!
Our crowdfunding campaign is at $172,400+ raised so far. Donate here: panquake.com/donate

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
2/?
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)
