Dear New Zealanders:

As the news hits today that NZ spies have been spying on you through the Auckland Transport camera network for years, kindly remember which Kiwi living in exile in Russia was warning you about this all along. And while I was still in NZ!

& it was crickets.
Here is me trying to tell Duncan Garner, one of the most famous NZ media figures about it... in 2013!!!!

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!

It's not lone wolf infiltrators operating. There are teams of them, orchestrating, working together to pick people off & use them as cover.

They encircle & influence their "useful idiot", then get the useful idiot to front the attacks, creating deniability for themselves... 1/2
..so that the useful idiot draws the return fire, leaving an appearance of friend fighting friend, which the agencies consider a win-win.

But scratch beneath the surface & there the infiltrators are, constantly shit stirring & breaking solidarity & wrecking relationships & lives
I want to be clear that I do not believe there is presently any infiltration of Panquake. Our team is solid, old hands. That's why Panquake has been attacked so much. If they were controlling it, the smears would stop. But they aren't, so they denigrate us til they can get inside

Spoiler alert!

THREAD: All the details of tonight's Panquake public delivery meeting can be found below

Multiple huge new announcements & a progress report on this month's MASSIVE development progress

(The event video will be in the final tweet of the thread)

#TalkLiberation
Tonight the @pan_quake Community was called on to hit our GoGetFunding.com/panquake Beta Development target by June 26th. An ambitious target but an important one. Why? Because we revealed that doing so will trigger Beta Delivery & Support phase. That means: Panquake in your hands!
The major success of April's fundraising meant in May, we brought on multiple new devs & as you'll see in the tweets that follow, those devs have performed so well that we are currently ahead of our production schedule. More project funds directly translates into faster delivery!

Lots of people wondering why I've been so quiet - I'm really sorry, the truth is because I have been heads down & tails up with the development team for hours and hours every single day building the greatest social media application we've ever seen, for you all! We progress daily
...and often when my head and my focus is constantly immersed in technical detail like that, the outside world blurs and the days melt into one another and my awareness centers around build requirements & delivery deadlines (which I never, ever miss as I'm sure you've noticed!)
In the not too distant future, someone far cooler, more adept, more interesting & better at the role than me will become the public face of @pan_quake & I'm really excited for that.

In the meantime, I'm building them & you all a product that lives up to all promises & beyond <3

A note about the Fediverse:

I think the Fediverse is a wonderful thing. That's why I've ensured @pan_quake will be interoperable with it. PQ will contribute to the strength & growth of the Fediverse.

But those telling you that the Fediverse is "free" are lying to your face.
While being promoted as free, paid Fediverse hosting services are attractive to some users precisely because of the hardware costs, technical know-how barrier & ongoing funds required if you self-host instances. The more users in your instance the higher the costs you must meet.
Better worded: while the Fediverse is promoted as "free" participating in it often isn't free at all. Nor is it effortless. Should we invest effort in obtaining digital freedom? Absolutely. Is the Fediverse better than Big Tech? Vastly. But barriers to mainstream adoption remain.
